Passion Island (2012)

Just Say No

The movie was supposed to be about some pink plant called Passion Weed, but the plot is couple focused, and there are many ones here. Chull is a korean who comes to the island to find something related to his girlfriend. Jenne has a mind full of fanfictions and keep daydreaming while working in the Island tourism. Other couple, Fang Li and Chu Yu, a wife who still can't face her handcap situation and tries to find confort in religion while her husband accepts her with an open heart. And the divorcee couple, who disagree about the Island administration and the usage of the pink weed. There is a guy called amigo too.

The pink passion weed seemed to change people behavior, so we have weird drama plot here. While the couples deals with their issues, we see them talking about and quoting classic movies, like The godfather, Ghost and the sort. The movie tries hard to be arty, but is not arty at all, you need more than odd scenes to make a movie being arty. None of the couples were of my liking. The place they choosed to record it, is really beautiful, the city they were walking, it's full of greenery. In resume, the few good scenes loses the taste because of the senseless talks.
