It’s not the easiest of films to watch, and I’m telling this after seeing the first three films of the Korean cinema cycle. Maybe not exactly “based on” but certainly inspired by a “true story”, the movie develops slowly and non-linearly, oscillating between delicate and brutal. The topic is universal: it could have happened in Europe, America or Africa. And as much as I dislike the expression “must-see”, I think Han Gong-ju truly is a must-see, in the post-manada Spain and everywhere.
Why the Spanish version is called Princesa? In the house of her friend, Gong-ju (Chun Woo-hee) sees a photo of a dog who was called Princess. As I just found out, Gong-ju (공주) means “princess”.
