Loved it, but definitely not Kim best though.

I thought of Murakami when I read the film’s description! It seemed very much in the same vein… I’m sad I missed it on the big screen!

I would also add “The Isle” and “Coast Guard” as two of his movies that carry more punch. They are not easy to watch but are deffenetly worth the effort.

Kim Ki Duk is one of my favourite working film directors, with The Bow and Samaritan Girl being my two preferred of his past films. Both are definitely worth checking out if you have not seen them. Of course Spring Summer Autumn Winter & Spring and 3 Iron are better known but I think his combination of violence, beauty and Buddhism were best realised on The Bow and Samritan Girl.

Kim Ki-duk can’t do no wrong, I love his movies. Can’t wait to see it.

You should see 3-Iron if you haven’t! It’s definitely got that sense of defying reality, but it’s so subtle and pretty, and plays with silence in a really inventive way. I’ll watch Dream ASAP then.

It has been one of my fest faves so far, and actually, I haven’t seen too many Ki-duk films as of yet. See it before you can register any disappointment…you may find yourself pleasantly surprised.

Aw, this disappoints me, since Kim Ki-duk has made some really gorgeous and amazing stuff in the past. I’m sensing a lot of that is still there from your review, yet maybe not of the same caliber as earlier works. I’ll see it whenever I get the chance.
