I’ve seen both Old Partner and More Than Blue and can heartily recommend them. Old Partner gives us great insight into the rural elderly communities of Korea and More Than Blue is a good excuse to cry your eyes out as you watch beautiful people being sad. You can read about my More Than Blue experience here.

I missed it, but are there any other showings of ‘Old Partner’ with English subs. Or is that the end of it?

Hopefully Old Partner will keep running a little while longer, but the cinemas only release a few days worth of listings at a time. Tomorrow (Wednesday) they’ll release listings for the rest of the week and I’ll be able to update as to whether Old Partner will continue its run. I hope you get a chance to see it.
