| When handsome young Su-min leaves the countryside orphanage of his youth and heads to the big city of Seoul, he has high hopes. But his dream of being an artist gives way to a scramble for survival, first as a chauffeur, then as a factory worker, and when even that job disappears, he turns to prostitution. In the creepy blankness of an all-male brothel, he’s bought by businessmen, hen-pecked by the hilarious male “madame,” and befriended by the other sex-workers. And then, romance rears its awkward head, in the form of a closeted wealthy executive named Jae-min (played with tender nuance by Lee Han), who takes an uncommon interest in Su-min and won’t say no when Su-min resists. Su-min’s struggle to open his heart, despite the impossible differences between the two men, is riveting to watch, rendered by both actor (Lee Young-hoon and director Leesong Hee-il) with gorgeous precision. In the tradition of the finest Fassbinder melodrama, No Regret is at once emotionally brooding and breathtakingly erotic, breaking major new ground for queer Korean cinema. With a taut, delicate script and richly gritty cinematography, this love story creeps in by stealth and delivers an unforgettable emotional whallop. Amidst the film’s many dark and gut-wrenching plot twists, its impossible not to believe in – and root for - these star-crossed lovers, no matter how impossible their happiness may seem. In Korean with English subtitles.
