## Description

Product Description          A powerfully poetic and lyrical tale on the calm resilience of children and sibling ties. When their mother leaves in order to find their estranged father, seven-year-old Jin and her younger sister, Bin, are left to live with their Big Aunt for the summer. With only a small piggy bank and their mother's promise to return when it is full, the two young girls are forced to acclimate to changes in their family life. Counting the days, and the coins, the two bright-eyed young girls eagerly anticipate their mother's homecoming. But when the bank fills up, and with their mother still not back, Big Aunt decides that she can no longer tend to the children. Taken to live on their grandparents' farm, it is here that Jin comes to learn the importance of family bonds and self-reliance in this beautiful, meditative, and thought-provoking second feature from So Yong Kim, the acclaimed director of in Between Days.             Review          Simply one of the best films about childhood ever made. --Melissa Anderson, Village VoiceA quiet, poignant drama of abandonment and resilience...an uncanny ability to enlarge your perception of the world. --A.O. Scott, New York TimesTreeless Mountain takes a radically different approach to the deprivations of childhood than Slumdog Millionaire, yet these films from the other side of the world will connect with audiences wherever they are shown. --Tom Charity, CNN

    The Resilience of Children
  

*by D***Y on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2012*

"Treeless Mountain" is a beautiful and emotionally affecting film. In the film, two young girls are left in the care of an uncaring aunt so that the mother can supposedly go look for her estranged husband. She tells the girls she will return before too long, but it soon becomes clear (through a letter to the aunt) that she simply is unable to care for the children any more. So the aunt, on the advice of the mother, takes the children to their grandparents farm to stay. The children develop a close bond to the kind grandmother and they start to feel comfortable in their surroundings.The two children, who had never acted before, gave incredibly beautiful performances. Six-year-old Hee Yeon Kim played the role of Jin while four-year-old Song Hee Kim played her younger sister Bin. I found it so easy to fall in love with these two beautiful children. They performed with such a naturalness and softness that they seemed like real sisters. The chemistry was so strong between them. And So Young Kim did a remarkable job as writer and director of the film. Her style of direction put all the focus on the two girls and their circumstances. And even though times were sometimes difficult for the girls, there is such a soft and delicate air about the film. I think "Treeless Mountain" is one of the best films about childhood ever made. And it does such a good job of showing the resilience that children have in adapting to difficult situations. I would give this film more than 5 stars if I could; it's really that good. And I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

    Interesting mostly upbeat view of a Nobody Knows situation
  

*by G***H on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 17, 2009*

Treeless Mountain was utterly charming, a far more upbeat take on a situation somewhat similar to Hirokazu Koreeda's tragic "Nobody Knows" ("Dare mo shiranai", 2004).  A 30ish big-city single mom in dire financial straits drops off her seven and five-year-old daughters with the 50ish 'Big Aunt', her sister-in-law, a functioning alcoholic in a small town, who a few weeks later in turn dumps them on their 70ish maternal grandparents, who live on a rather primitive farm.Mom has given the girls a piggy bank, and said she'd return by the time they've filled it, a white lie, of course, but the kids start collecting impaling and charbroiling grasshoppers (yum -- healthful animal protein) to sell to big aunt's neighbors at ten cents a pop.  Then they discover that ten pennies take up more bank space than a dime, and engage in some currency conversion.  Even though the piggy's now full, mom doesn't show up.  Later, at the farm, the girls offer grandma the bank to buy herself new winter shoes.It's not all sunshine.  The girls have their quirks.  Jin, the older daughter, has a bed-wetting problem, and frames little sister Bin, who gets revenge later.  There are lots of little touches like that in all the characters, but it's all understated, and much is implied without being obvious.  The overall impression is of a society that values its kids highly, and the extended family structure makes what might otherwise have been a tragic situation bearable and even light-hearted at times.  On the commentary track, the director reveals she's dedicated the film to her own grandmother, the movie having been somewhat autobiographical.

    where the children find security and love. I enjoyed watching this true-to-life story very much
  

*by D***M on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 19, 2017*

Two very young children are left to an aunt as the mom says she needs to leave to find the children's father. The aunt, after awhile, can not handle this job any more, and the children are being handed around until they end up with the grandmother, where the children find security and love.I enjoyed  watching this true-to-life story very much. It shows how resilient and resourceful little kids can be, and how they thrive when they feel loved.
