Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of the two police officers notices the song "Wise Up" by Aimee Mann and tells her colleague that they heard the song in a movie. The movie is most likely Magnolia (1999), for which the song was originally written. That film also dealt with strained parent-child relationships. Also when the song plays in Magnolia, Julianne Moore is sitting alone in her car in the rain, which is what Bae Doona is doing in Broker.
- Quotes
Dong-soo: It might rain. Take an umbrella
Moon So-young: Come and get me if it rains. With an umbrella.
Featured review
Broker is a very poignant and sweet and engaging film from start to finish. It takes a very gentle and subtle approach at all times that makes for a very relaxing and meditative experience, despite the fact that it is often dealing with very serious issues.
Mostly this gentleness and subtlety comes from the performances and the style. Song Kang-Ho gives a terrific performance as do the whole cast. They each have their own complexities and issues that come to light and are intriguing to explore and discover.
The direction is beautiful, capturing the characters and the scenery perfectly. Visually the film is nice and rewarding.
I think the story is where the film needed the most work. At times it felt a little fractured and didn't really come to fruition in a satisfying way.
Overall though Broker is a very strong film with lots to offer.
