As a love story, it could scarcely be more tempestuous and as an expose of class differences and sexual hypocrisy it could hardly be more scathing -- or, more important, entertaining.

Part soap opera, part soft-core gay sex movie, No Regret is the debut feature by Leesong Hee-il, who is said to be South Korea's first openly gay filmmaker.

[Director] Leesong fails to extrapolate the insights of the brothel milieu into his larger agenda: a melodramatic love-hate affair between Sumin and Jaemin so schematic it's unintelligible.

The tale of class-clashing lovers plays out predictably until the final act, which appears to have been inspired by Oscar Wilde's observations that each man kills the thing he loves and nothing succeeds like excess.
