The films share similar themes about loss, memory, longing and forgetting. Both films' "European sensibilities" can in part be explained when you know that both directors trained in Poland. "Nabi" influenced "Flower Island's" director, Song Il-Gon. They can be watched as companion pieces, in fact.

The acting throughout is superb. It is one of those films that you can watch without knowing anything about it. It is a film you experience. Sad, beautiful, and thought-provoking.

Like "Nabi", this film will stay with you long after viewing it.

Without hesititation, I recommend buying both this and "Nabi"...while they are in print.

Very highly recommended!
