MOULIN ROUGE OF BLs
ANTIQUE BAKERY
South Korea (2008 movie)
1:49
This is the MOULIN ROUGE of BLs! It’s different from the usual BL and it’s consistently crazy – from beginning to end. And I think the producers / director had MOULIN ROUGE in mind when they created this movie. Both were shown in the same year. MOULIN ROUGE was shown in May 2001 and this, ANTIQUE BAKERY, was shown October 2001. Coincidence? I don’t think so.
It might take a while before you get the hang of it, its style, its quirkiness.
This story has been adapted in Japan as ANTIQUE (series) and in Thailand as BAKER BOYS (also series). I haven’t seen them yet, but I’ll bet they won’t measure up to this Korean movie.
Superb cinematography and editing. It’s not perfect though. More of “style over substance.” But, hey, I love the style!
