If you loved Poetry, try Peppermint Candy
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 devastating, foreign gem, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Poetry, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Peppermint Candy is
Trainspotting meets 500 Days of Summer. Yeong-ho's high school reunion sparks a downward spiral. Carries a dark nostalgia of 90s South Korea.
