If you loved Innocent Thing, try A Barefoot Dream

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. A Barefoot Dream has roughly 6.4× fewer votes than Innocent Thing — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Kim Tae-gyun. If that's the register that drew you to Innocent Thing, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What A Barefoot Dream is

A sports movie, as if from first principles. An ex-footballer starts coaching soccer to kids in East Timor, who can't afford shoes. It is quite sweet, if you like that sort of thing.
