Resurrection of the Little Match Girl

South Korea’s Biggest Mega-Flop To Date, and One Helluva Entertaining Flop It Is!

Here’s a film that really NEEDS a cult following! Catching the zeitgeist of “The Matrix”, Asian filmmakers creatively re-translated the translation through a number of highly creative films (“Avalon”, etc.) adding their own unique twists and turns to the mythos. The movie’s plot focuses on 'Ju', a delivery boy for a Chinese restaurant, whose only joy in life is spending time at the electronic game room. One day, 'Ju' while engrossed in an electronic game as usual, is advised to log-on to a game called RESURRECTION OF THE LITTLE MATCH GIRL. The match-selling girl of Andersen's fairytale is revived through the game, and 'Ju' is drawn into the little girl's virtual reality.

As reality and cyberspace interchange, 'Ju', and the Little Match Girl are confronted by a gigantic force called ‘The System’ that attempts to stop them... and then things start getting BLOWN UP! OK, not a fair description but it IS a LOT of fun!

At first, we really didn’t “get” this soundtrack. However, after a few listens, it’s pretty cool! Just like the movie, it is eclectic as all hell, with techno, rock, Gangsta Jazz, ambient and K-Pop getting tossed around in a giant musical Wok. Think something like the soundtrack to “Pi” but with more variety and an underlying melancholy and you’ll be getting close.

Soundtrack features a song from Korean super idol Kang Ta
