Stemming from a director whose background is originally a novelist, it's no coincidence that the majority of Oasis flows much like a book. This film heavily covers the topics of "borders" and "communication," along with the difficulties of crossing those borders. Throughout you'll come witness to an upward mutation by the main character, Jong-du, whose mutation is miraculous as he builds relations with a handicapped woman named Gong-ju. The film shows the thin line between the desires of the individual and the needs of society and forces us to look at the disparity between the reality we see and that seen by others. This might mean the ultimate mesage may come somewhat ambiguous, the film itself offers a compelling vision of what love truly means, as it often transcends reason, beliefs, and logic. 8.7/10.
