I remember the games I played when I was young. We were happy playing together, but, looking back, I realize I used the games to satisfy my own desires. It was a child’s selfcentered behavior. But adult lovers, too, display immature sides in their relationships. Consumed by self-love, they act like children. I have tried to illustrate this kind of love through the metaphor of children’s games.

What makes it different from others?

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Joung Yumi's Love Games, a South Korean animated short film, follows a couple as they go throw a series of intimate rituals they perform on a large patch of ground marked by a charcoal rock. Through these rituals, they experience the tender moments of teasing, hurting, comforting, loving, and most importantly, basking in the company of each other thanks to unconventional tactics. One ritual involves a piece of yarn being tied around the center of what looks like a buttercookie. The ring also has a bell on it, and after both the man and the woman blindfold themselves, both of them try to direct the cookie in front of them so one of them can have a chance to eat it. Another image involves a hide and seek game that takes place entirely inside the chalk-drawn box, with the man blindfolded and the woman moving inside the box, avoiding being touched by her husband. The simplicity of the rituals is only complemented by the simplicity of the animation. It's entirely black and white, with the occasional texture provided by an object like a coffee cup, or a plate, or even the woman's purse. The entire project mirrors a beautiful art project or even a sketch drawing, and its overall inoffensiveness provides for a quick, beautiful little endeavor that surprises when it hits an emotional stride in the last couple minutes.Directed by: Joung Yumi.
