bampfa.org · details A young professional leaves Seoul life behind for the markedly different pace of a rural village and learns to “make her own time” in this sweetly flavored adaptation of a famed Japanese manga. Alone but never lonely, our heroine visits with two friends (and a cute dog) and recalls her single mother, but mostly she devotes her days to harvesting, planting, and cooking. (Its multiple loving food montages make Little Forest arguably Korea’s best-ever foodie film.)
