I do not think it deserves the two Oscars. Surrealistic with some magic realism. I have seen so many better movies with a similar theme in languages like Portugese, Spanish, Hindi, Bengali, Italian. They do not get as good a publicity. And they have better music than some extracts of Opera that the Koreans are used to.And I think the Oscar guys do not care for the world outside their circle.
