About This DVD
The title says it all: "The Naked Kitchen". Newcomer Hong Ji-young brings a
sensuous romance that paints the taste of juicy meals and unforgettable kisses.
After competing at a few international short film festivals with "Herstory",
Hong makes her feature film debut both here and abroad through the Berlin
International Film Festival, which continues through Feb. 15. The movie's
nationwide release in Japan is slated for June.
For local moviegoers, "Kitchen" will be a delightful trend-spotting,
trend-setting franchise. It capitalizes on the national obsession with fine
dining, particularly the recent interest in food styling and things fusion.
Martha Stewart can feast her eyes with brunch dished up on Hermes china and
Korean court cuisine served in a Western-style multiple-course meal.
Other scenes are like fashion magazine spreads, as the cellophane-thin lead
actress struts around trendy neighborhoods in her candy-colored shoes. But the
emerging director displays a sense for both style and substance as she delves
the meaning of love and infidelity. The movie is a fine asset to the Korean
chick flick genre as it sugarcoats the sensitive subject matter with scrumptious
dishes, summer sunshine and colorful parasols.
