First I must state there is a Korean film of the same name as well as a silent film,that seems to be more famous than this film,therefore I couldn't find a trailer only a scene for the URL below the picture.That said it then is THE type of relative unknown film I wish to alert everyone about.The reason I saw it was because of Neil Patrick Harris,whom I believe is a very good actor.The rest of the cast preform good as well and I was surprised to find another fine actor Peter Wingfield was in it as well.I only took 1/2 stars off because there are so many films that use a "talisman "and I've already reviewed two,Babel and Amores Perros. In this case its a wedding dress and the film is not nearly as dire and depressing as the those two are.It opens with a sad death and a wedding dress that will never be worn in a wedding because of WW11.Then we switch to now and the dress involves 4 other couples that as bad as there situations seem it winds up ok finally. Released in 2001 it runs only 95 minutes.IMDB summary below.Do yourself a favor and see it if you like unknown treasures.
When Hannah Pinkham's fiancé writes he's finally shipping home, her mother makes a fairy tale wedding dress, but while she's fitting it the knock on the door is not him, but the dreaded officer-messenger. Years later she sends it to her nephew, photographer Travis Cleveland, but his model-bride Cass only pretends to like it to get rid of his loyal assistant. After he walks off with it, his car gets stolen with the dress in it... And it keeps passing on from person to person, but will anybody actually get married in it or does it just keep bringing bad luck to couples? Written by KGF Vissers
