The comment on "simple" foreign film plots is actually meant as a compliment, as I find them generally much fuller in concepts and character development than Hollywood style films that attempt complications in either plot or technology and stay on the surface.

I missed this film in the theaters so it will definitely be a rental in the future.
I do disagree w/ this statement, however, "Like many foreign films the plot is extremely simple." I would just say, "Like MOST films." I can name several foreign films w/ more than simple story lines, like Ran, After Life, Rainbow Trout, La Haine, or anything by OSHIMA Nagisa or JANG Sun-Woo. I would argue that most FILMS are simple. Not that simple is "bad," as you've demonstrated in your review of The Cup.
I look forward to reading your other reviews. Peace.

It would take much more than this to give all the nuances of this movie.
I left a few key elements deliberately vague; besides, the real pleasures of this movie are in the experiencing of it. The plot is sooooo simple that it's really not the main point of the film. I plan to see this again, and probably will get the video when available even though I already know the outcome.
I was more concerned that this wasn't giving enough details, so I was a bit surprised to see that you thought I was giving away the whole movie.

Assure me you haven't given me the entire movie and I'll change this to an HR.
