FIRST ONE OF ITS KIND



Many Western box office hits were in fact copy-paste reamkes of the Asian movies, and „The Lake House” is no exception. The concept of letter writing and falling in love between two people that shared the same house and magical mailbox in a different time is as corny as it gets, but offers some interesting potentials.

As it is always, the Korean original is more realistic and brutal, but somehow overacted. In the end, the entire subject begins to wear down, with the viewer wishing it should end as quickly as possible.

„Il Mare” is the original concept and it is its biggest advantage. And the only one as well.
