If you loved Peppermint Candy, try Poetry
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. 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 Lee Chang-dong, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, gut punch mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Peppermint Candy, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Poetry is
About Schmidt if you added a crime. A woman takes a poetry class while quietly dealing with early Alzheimer's and a terrible act committed by her grandson. It's a showcase role, and she carries the film.
