Audience Member This film blew me away. In a nutshell the film is about a thirty years young Korean man in search of his biological mother. With extras. Having said that, and saying that this film touches on many of the related topics of child abandonment, identity, adoption, loss, being young and pregnant and alone (not to mention some very pointed exposition on Korean nurseries and clinics), in very powerful ways, it's not a message film nor an after-school special level catharsis. It's way weirder, and more literary, and much more poetic. The film is more like a painting than a story. The second act is pretty much a riff on Albert Camus' Le Malentendu. <a href='http://sitenoise-atthemovies.blogspot.com/2009/12/blind-river-kwihyang-2009-korea.html' target='_blank'>sitenoise at the movies: A Blind River</a> Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Read all reviews
