Too Young To Die (Hong Kong Version)

YesAsia Editorial Description

Being invited to Cannes and the Venice Film Festival, The 2002 Korean docudrama "Too Young to Die" shocks all with a real story about an ageing couple Park Chi-gyu and Lee Sun-ye. Their youthfulness, the powerful feelings they cherish for each other and not lastly their unusually active sex life are all explored in this controversial movie without reservation.

Director Park Jin-pyo first met the 73-year-old Park Chi-gyu and his 72-year-old partner Lee Sun-ye while making a TV documentary last year. Struck by their youthfulness, the strength of their feelings for each other and, not least, by their remarkably active sex life, he proposed filming this docu-drama, in which they re-enact their first meeting, their current lives together and the high and low points of their relationship. The film (shot as simply as possible on DV) deliberately avoids going into their personal histories and backgrounds (both have outlived their spouses and both have grandchildren), the better to focus on their intense commitment to each other and their fears of being apart. Only one episode in the film is pure documentary: the sequence at a folk-song competition, which they win with a performance of "The Song of Youth". But all of it feels entirely truthful, including the charmingly uninhibited scenes on the futon.

  七十,依然是花樣年華。73歲的公公,與72歲的婆婆,在公園遇上,一見鍾情,立時戀上。拜過天地,照過結婚相,他們便共同生活了。生活裡有嬉戲、有學習、有關愛、有責罵,也少不了性愛。影片取材自一對剛分別喪偶的老夫婦,三分二的情節由他們親自重現,其餘的即興地真情流露 — 包括一場七分鐘的性愛。也許,七十歲才不過是人生的開始。
  This is the film that generates huge controversy (and was once banned)in Korea but is well received at overseas film festivals including Cannes and Toronto. TOO YOUNG is about a man and woman in their early seventies who meet, fall in love and then rediscover sex. They tease and learn from each other, argue over trivial matters and make love over and over again...just like a couple in their twenties. Based on a true story, this film challenges your stereotypes of what it is like to be old.
