My Heart Beats (2011)

Not sure why this movie has such a low rating other than there are puritans that can’t deal with the erotic nature of the movie. Frankly it’s better than most of the non erotic Korean movies out there.

Its about a virginal 37 year old university lecturer who is bored with work and life in general. She “lives” for porn. That is to watch it. When that’s not enough she goes to an old friend to be in one so she can “fuck” many guys. But the movie is not lurid as she quickly realizes that is not where her heart is. I really liked this movie. My expectation was that it was going to be just so much soft core dribble but it was much more. The movie is made even more poignant when you realize the main character died of H1N1 flu months after promoting it in Italy. Really sad as she probably would have had a good future in Korean dramas and movies.
