Since IMDB was unhelpful, I found some info about the movie here:

Split into two parts, shot in black and white, the opening chapter First Love, Yoshiko follows a Korean director (Lim Hyung-kook) who is scouting for locations for his next film in the Japanese rural town of Gojo, and is joined by his assistant director Mijung (Kim Sae-byuk) who interprets for him. There he meets the locals including an elderly lady and a civil servant (Ryo Iwase) who helps him tour the area.

The second part, Well of Sakura, captured in colour, is inspired by a story told in the opening chapter of a romance between a Korean woman and a local man. Mijung is now an actress while the civil servant is a persimmon farmer as they walk around the town and learn about each other.

Comparisons to Richard Linklater’s minimalist Before Sunrise and subsequent sequels are inevitable, and though they do share qualities in terms of the film’s second half in particular, Jang’s intelligent fragmented script and documentary-like style first chapter and how the two parts interrelate successfully differentiates it from those films.

This was just released on DVD on 12/3/2015 with my desired art. Hopefully the blu-ray follows suit with PA using special paper.
