Synopsis:
At the height of the Korean War, the remote community of Dongmakgol remains sheltered from the brutal conflict raging in its midst. But when two deserters from the South stumble across it at the same time that a nave girl leads a small Northern unit to the village, a terrible conflict looks set to shatter its peaceful existence. Yet Dongmakgol is an almost magical place. A haven where the beauty of nature and the simplicity of life encourage the warring visitors to set aside their differences and join together in a desperate bid to defend the innocence of its people.
Starring Hye-Jeong Kang (Old-Boy), Welcome to Dongmakgol is a beautifully shot epic that contrasts the depth of human courage with the destructive futility of warfare. Set to a sweeping score, it is both moving and uplifting, providing a cinematic experience guaranteed to live long in your memory.

Brigadoon updated - Welcome to Dongmakgol review by JS

Spoiler Alert
07/03/2020

It must be more than 60 years since I saw Brigadoon but there were plenty of resonances here.

The village isolated from the world running a peaceful society rudely interrupted by a war.

There are messages in this film not spoiled by some tolerable silliness as it was described as having a comedic thread.

An enjoyable way to pass a rainy afternoon.
