Christmas Movie marathon

I got on Netflix and searched Christmas movies. I selected the most obscure movies I could find and will share the results.


Movie #1
I'm not sure why this was called "Christmas in August" .
A young photographer is dying, and tells no one. I want to say the film is unsympathetic, but that is not quite the right description. Rather say it is an unflinching look at death and dying. Jung-won meets a young woman, falls in love, but never tells her about his love or that he is dying. A remarkable, lovely film, but not what you would thing of as Christmas fair.

sounds sad and poignant and it comes to mind that maybe he was living after all, not dying. Of course, I didn't see it...
