Lurking behind every endearingly Parisian puff of urine with that worn mien, waiting to shatter commuters’ iPoded complacency, silently bemoaning the woes, the burdens, the weight of motherhood. Actually, said Korean widows are just one Korean widow, played by Hye-Ja Kim, sta...

We need films that appeal to our hearts as well as our heads.
