Old Partner

Recently shown as part of The Gene Siskel Film Center's Korean Cinema on the Fast Track the film "Old Partner" (2008, see Links for the Han Cinema posting) by Lee Chung-ryoul offers insights into the life of traditional hard-working East Asian rice farm culture, such as the simple satisfactions of "seeing water going in dried up rice paddies, and seeing food go in your kids' mouths."
