The Beauty In Dream

About This Movie

The Beauty In Dream is quite the atmospheric piece, you know? It’s a slow burn, diving deep into the relationships that tie Lee Yun-ho and his late friend’s daughter Yumae together. The film captures this melancholic nostalgia, with a backdrop of traditional music that really enhances the emotional weight. The pacing meanders, but it serves the exploration of grief and love well. You can feel the tension between Yun-ho and Sora, which is nuanced and well-acted. The practical effects are pretty subtle but contribute to that rich, immersive world. It's a unique blend of personal and cultural themes that might not hit everyone, but for those who appreciate layered storytelling, it has its own kind of beauty.
