How it feels

This South Korean anthology film draws from ancient folktales to tell stories of regret and haunting. It uses a restrained style to focus on the emotional bond between a husband and wife.

What happens

"한"(恨)은 유현목 감독, 이상현 각본의 1967년 한국 영화이다. 한국에서 최초로 시도(試圖)한 옴니버스 영화였고, 유현목 감독으로선 최초의 천연색영화였다. 물론 괴담(怪談)조의 이야기를 고대 설화(古代說話)에서 발췌하여 엮은 내용이었지만, 그 표현의 유현(幽玄)함과 색감(色感)이 단연 압권이었고, 연기면에서는 문희와 이순재가 애틋한 부부애를 그린, 다시 말해서 고전적인 인간상에 어울리는 차분한 연기를 보여주었다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
