Hotel by the River

"A sublime snowscape foregrounds the picturesque allure of HOTEL BY THE RIVER, the lackadaisical story is seasoned with personal quirks and sheer coincidences (the transference of the ownership pf the same automobile is an extraneous contrivance), but the anemic, languid atmosphere actually conduces to the film's wintry background and insouciance toward morbidity, it is the ending of a man's existence versus the ending of a relationship, both Young-hwan and A-reum manage to attain a philosophical presence of mind to deal with the demise, and for that matter, Hong lands on his feet nicely."
