Korean Cinema NOW | My Love, Don't Cross That River

  
2014  |  86 minutes  |  Directed by Jin Mo-young

  
This life-affirming indie documentary set box office records and won the Documentary Prize at the 2015 LA Film Fest.

There live a couple known as the ‘100-year-old lovebirds’. Like characters in a fairy tale, the husband is strong like a woodman, and the wife full of charms like a princess. They dearly love each other, wear traditional Korean clothes all the time, and still fall asleep hand in hand. However, death, quietly sits between them like a thief. This film starts from this moment, and follows the couple until the last moments of their 76-year marriage.
