Park Chan-wook's asylum comedy I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK , starring Rain (winner, Best New Actor at the 43rd Baeksang Awards) and Lim Soo-jung (Tale of Two Sisters) is up for pre-order. The director of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (one of the Top 10 Korean films), Sympathy for Lady Vengeance and Oldboy might at first seem to have made a radical departure with this romantic comedy about two patients in a mental institution, but be forewarned -- the proceedings are not all sweetness and light as the posters and screenshots would lead one to believe. For sure, Park has not abandoned his usual visual flair -- evident from the very opening credits and manifesting itself in a palette of vibrant colors -- but neither has he tempered his penchant for violent imagery and eccentric characters so over-the-top that even viewers accustomed to the director's gallery of outcasts might find the going a bit frustrating. The R3 2-DVD Limited Edition distributed by CJ Entertainment features anamorphic widescreen presentation (1.85:1), English subtitles and Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. Extras include Making-Of, Director Commentary, Cast and Staff Interviews, Trailers and Deleted Scenes. Special Features are not English-subtitled.
