Blood and Bones

Wasn't very much of a choice of movies to choose from.. So it was between this and In Her Shoes. :P I was dubious at first when my boyfriend suggested it, but I think we made the right choice. It's one of those "artsy" films that I've taken a liking to recently.

Blood and Bones is based on the novel by Yan Sogiru, titled "Chi to Hone". Set during the World War II and the post-war years, the film is about the 1st generation of Koreans living in Japan, focusing on the true life story of the author's father, Shunpei Kim (Kitano Takeshi). A violent, tyrannical brute, Shunpei pummelled his family, employees and neighbours into submission..
