The Korean Film Welcome to Dongmakgol screens for Heritage Language Program Film Festival. This box office and critical success about soldiers escaping the horrors of war in an idyllic mountain village is a welcome breath of fresh air sure to elicit not only a genuine emotional response, but ample belly laughs as well, perhaps even from the most jaded filmgoer. It recalls the best of Kurosawa, Miyazaki, and even Stephen Chow, but still provides enough of its own identity to succeed as a film in its own right. A definite crowdpleaser.
