“Irresistible” is the term that springs to mind when describing this light-footed and humorous story of an impossible love affair between a thief and a lady. Director Nicolette Krebitz handles the fragile balance between the dictates of society and the heart with great care. The fresh breath of freedom blows through a narrative that makes room for a nod to old West Berlin, some gentle teasing of Germany’s French neighbours, and even a ghost that is chased away to make way for new possibilities. But most of all, A E I O U is a passionate love letter to Sophie Rois and, perhaps through her, all the brilliant actors neglected by an industry all too fond of young blood. Well, it turns out that these young players, embodied here by newcomer Milan Herms, not only look up to their more experienced peers, they truly love them.
After stealing the funeral urn of her deceased lover, Paloma, an eccentric drag queen, meets Mike, a silent and melancholic truck driver. They will share a journey on the roads of France until they reach Paris. A day and a night together to overcome their loneliness.
On the run from his former employer, a reluctant hitman seeks refuge in an isolated village where he is faced with events that test the true nature of his conscience.
“Why are they even together?” would be the first thought that comes to mind, as Chu Sang Woo and Jang Jae Young are so different in every conceivable way. One is a robot-like engineering student who wears dark clothes for convenience and follows a strict timetable. The other is a free-spirit design major, with colorful outfits and a skateboard. When Jae Young freerides on a team assignment with Sang Woo, Sang Woo crosses off Jae Young’s name from the project, and the two become enemies. The film is a re-edit of an eight part TV series that topped the WATCHA Chart, based on the web novel Semantic Error by Jeo Soo-ri. It would be challenging to exceed expectations as the novel has a huge fanbase, however, two formal idol actors, Park Seo Ham and Park Jae Chan, hit the jackpot. Director Kim Soo Jung delicately emphasizes the comic and fresh romance of the young men, who have unique charms and perfect looks, as they do in the novel.
