IMDB - 54 wins
This film has an amazing magical realism that is similar to that same feeling one gets from reading a Murakami novel. The narrative asks alot of questions both directly and through allegory or metaphor. This is a film that appears to offer a candid portrait of youth in Korea at an interesting point in time. A challenging story arc for sure, but a film not to be missed.
