If you cannot rent it, I notice Amazon has it on VHS (alas no DVD) for
US$17.  Considering the tiny number of Korean films distributed in US, it
is rather interesting how well-known "301, 302" has become here, although
I suspect it is because of the standard misleading and exploitive
marketing for foreign films here.  The tape box of "301, 302" makes the
film out to be a funny tale of food and sex - you can hear the
high-concept marketing hacks saying to the Blockbuster buyers "y'know,
sorta 'Tampopo' with kimchi" - but then again the US DVD box for
Teshigahara Hiroshi's "Antonio Gaudi" calls it "Erotic, Shocking,"
although it is a film about architecture.
