Movie Info

Young-goon is admitted to a mental institution. Believing herself a cyborg, she charges herself with a transistor radio. Il-soon, a fellow inmate, steals the other inmates' personality traits and believes he is fading and will one day turn into a dot. When Young-goon refuses to eat, Il-soon decides it's his job to get her on her feet again. This charming, tender and visually arresting film cements Park Chan-wook's reputation as one of the most gifted and stylistically playful filmmakers working

Witty, playful, romantic, tragic, Park Chan-wook's I'm a Cyborg, but That's OK is a whole chocolate box of emotions in a highly decorative but absolutely characteristic wrapping.

It's almost as if the peculiar I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK was lurking beneath the surface of his psyche and needed to come out before Park could continue down his chosen path. It's not exactly brilliant or hilarious, but at least it's honest.

It took five years for I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK to get an official U.S. release, and while its not for everyone, the film is one of director Park Chan-wook's best.

Playful lightweight romantic psychodrama set at a mental institution.

Park's casting of Korean pop star Rain is as subversive as if he had cast a Beatles-era Paul McCartney as a serial killer in a slasher movie, but still instructed him to underplay his charms.

It's mental but charming, so that's OK.

A confusing mess of a movie that lacks the marvellously sharp structure and cohesion of his previous efforts.

This uncategorisable asylum-set ensemble dramedy backs up its extraordinary visual effects with a lot of heart.

Audience Reviews for I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK (Saibogujiman kwenchana)

what inspires me into seeing this movie is an essay called "cyborg manifesto." it describes the condition of third-world females as the cyborg humans who offer their human resources in those high-tech factories which produce latest eletronic goods while the third-world males are castrated by the social

Left field under sells this bizarre but sweet love story. Open your mind to the strangeness and gradually it starts to make sense - sort of. Beautiful imagery helps you along. Challenging but rewarding if you persevere.
