Something films leave you with lingering emotions as the credits roll. That has you slowly pondering about your own life or anything significant in general. Josée was a very calming movie about a tender loving relationship between a wheelchair bound and a poor college student. Josée is a bit of a wonder. We don't know her real name, only what she calls herself, why she is in the chair and her wild imagination leads her to tell different stories about her origins and what she has done. The film takes us on a journey seeing Josée take the steps to find joy and happiness outside of her lonely, isolated life through Young-seok. Our characters slowly drift apart towards the end, still loving each other but in a better, stable and healthy place in their lives, keeping our hearts at bay. The cinematography, whether it was the initial darkness of the surroundings that slowly turn bright as our characters grow, the background weather and various locations used was all great. It fit the subtle tone that the film is presented with. Han Ji Min and Nam Joo Hyuk are splendid as our respective roles. Heartfelt and sincere from the heart. They are the true reasons why this film was so touching in many ways.
