I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK

2006 · 1h 45m · Drama, Comedy, Romance

IMDb 6.9 RT 92%

Park Chan-wook's delightfully weird romance deserves your night—it's a beautifully strange blend of whimsy and heartfelt emotion that proves mental illness can be the backdrop for genuine connection. The 92% RT score isn't lying; ignore the slightly lower IMDb and trust the critics on this one.

Plot

Young-goon, mentally deranged and frequently electro-charging herself with a transistor radio, has been admitted into a mental institution. Firmly believing herself to be a cyborg, she refuses to consume like a human being. Il-soon is another patient, who catches the eye of Young-goon and soon becomes a close friend. Il-soon is now confronted with the biggest task: to cure Young-goon's mental problem and have her eat real food.
