Along with and ex-boxing champion Gi-beom and a clueless bodyguard Su-young, the four unique and handsome young men stir up the quiet neighbourhood at their cake shop, Antique.

Fabulous fun!
Just reading about the plot synopsis of this film in Neo magazine made me zip out and buy it and I'm glad I did.It's a warm feel good film that's a great mixture of comedy, musical and drama and I loved it.If you've had a bad day then this is a great antidote.

A sweet and frothy confection, sure to delight
This is one of my favorite South Korean films and I am delighted that it has got a UK release at long last. 'Antique Bakery' is based upon a Japanese manga of the same name, and directed by Min Kyu-Dong, who is the co-director of the second, and arguably best, in the Whispering Corridors series (1998-2009), 'Memento-mori'. The film tells the story of four men, whose lives collide when they end up working together at the same bakery. 'Antique Bakery' is a film that transcends genre conventions, mixing together elements of the musical, romantic comedy and horror genres. Overall the film is a delight for the eyes and ears. Highly recommended.

Wrong aspect ratio ruins presentation!
"Antique Bakery" was originally released on 2.35:1 aspect ratio and I have the original Korean DVD release that was in the correct ratio. With this UK release it is woefully obvious how presenting the feature in the wrong aspect ratio affects the visuals with faces often cut in half and the picture looking obviously cropped in many places. It is a pity as the supplementary features were good. Avoid until Terracotta re-release the feature in the correct aspect.
