This movie is to be commended for the effortless interaction and interplay between the Pansori singing and the beautiful scenes of its 18th century location. The opening 3 minutes, without subtitles, are a wonderful way to pull English-speaking audiences into the unusual but compelling style of the Pansori singer. The movie itself uses colorful cinematography to tell its story. The story echoes many myths and legends from around the world and runs a bit long, but don't miss a chance to see this tribute to Korean folk traditions in a new setting. The actors are all quite good and the Pansori singer is outstanding.
