Samaria (2004) [South Korea]

Movies that don't quite meet the requirements to be on-topic for FLM, maybe because the actors are too old or screen time is too small.

Samaria (2004) [South Korea]

FLM Review:
Not sure about releasing this. I can't download it because eMule only allows 10 downloads, and this is like 20th on my list. Imdb Plot Keywords are ambiguous, but seems a nice plot. The two main characters are obviously off topic, not sure about other characters.

Info:

Online Review:

There are no shades of grey in Kim Ki-duk’s world, it’s a black and white world of good and evil, although the two extremes are often difficult to separate. As embodied in the child Buddhist monk in Spring..., for the director even innocence holds innate the seeds of corruption. In Samaria (also known as Samaritan Girl), the innocence is that of two young schoolgirls, Yeo-jin and Jae-young, who in order to save money to escape to Europe, sell themselves into prostitution, luring clients on the internet who are in no doubt about their underage status. Yeo-jin (Ji-min Kwak) does all the work, procuring the clients and keeping look-out for police while Jae-young (Min-jeong Seo) has sex with the men in downtown motels. Inevitably, being mixed-up in such a dangerous business can have serious implications and it is Jae-young who suffers the consequences. To make-up for what has happened to her friend, Yeo-jin finds a way to undo the harm that has been done and tries to make amends. She goes back through each one of the clients, sleeping with them and paying them back the money they had been saving. The magnanimity of her gesture moves these men to reconsider the evil of their actions. (No really – this is Kim Ki-duks’s bizarre vision of the world...) However, Yeo-jin’s father (Lee Uhl), a police detective, is shocked to discover what his daughter appears to be doing and he finds another way of paying back dues that is a little bit more Old Testament.

Well we can keep this here until we know for sure whether this is OT or not.
If it is OT, we can move it to release :)

Too bad that the oriental girls like to be a lolita and they're a little bit too old... :(

Yeo-reum Han (who plays Jae-yeong) was 21 at time of filming. Ji-min Kwak (who plays Yeo-jin) was 19 at time of filming. Verified off-topic.
