3 Iron (Binjip) South Korea, 2004

A guy posts publicity pamphlets on the entrance doors of many houses. By the end of the day he comes by again and sees which pamphlets are still hanging on the doorknobs. He chooses any one of these houses, breaks in and spends the night, and he never steals anything. Next day is the same story. He drives a BMW motorcycle and never seems to have any concern about money. One night he goes into a house where a woman is inside. We soon learn that this woman is married and unhappy. She gets beaten by her husband quite often. He decides to take her with him. The husband files a claim to the police. In the meantime this new couple (the motorcycle guy and the woman) spend several nights together at different houses. One day she comes back to her husband and decides to solve her marital problems once and for all. A very poetic plot with very few dialogue and a very subtle ending make an interesting story with a romantic undertone.
