THE WAY HOME (JIBURO) Asian New Classics

Told with a grace and beauty reminiscent of Ozu, THE WAY HOME reminds us that sometimes the only way to find your home is to leave it.

Sang Woo, a six-year-old city slicker, visits his grandmother in a rural mountain village. Far from his beloved world of city lights, Choco Pies, video games and KFC, Woo at first is lost in this foreign place. But slowly, he begins to see the forest – and beauty-through the trees.

A huge box office hit in Korea, and the 2002 Best Picture winner at Korea’s Grand Bell Award,: THE WAY HOME breaks your heart before putting it back together again.
