One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

I didn't want to make a full-on comment enough as I don't have a deserving critic skill behind me, but having seen just seen this joyful and heartwarming tale and finding its accompanying IMDb page blank I just had to do something.Aiseu-keki (Ice Bar), in short, is the story of a young boy and his pal living out their summer vacation in 1960's South Korea. Our prepubescent protagonist, growing up alone with his mother, comes to discover the name and whereabouts of his until now absent father and soon his days become a quest for enough cash to catch a train to Seoul and meet him. There are a few touching side stories that follow along as well, including a jolly 'eggman' who the kids lovingly torment, and the teenage sibling employees of the ice bar factory owner.Often predictable but thoroughly enjoyable, Aiseu-keki is a kids film at heart with grown-up overtones and realities, definitely fit for family viewing, I wouldn't want to watch it any other way.
