An........Interesting Film

Rating: 7/10 (18 September 2012)

So this was one of the first Korean films that I saw almost over a year ago and here are my two cents. This movie starts off great with, as previously described, unique visuals, great music, interesting plot and generating an overall good ambiance. However, it goes downhill, as our protagonist steps out the door, albeit gradually ending the film with one of the most random and unrelated endings that I have ever seen. I was speechless and after a few minutes I was asking myself, what the heck did I just see? However, I was compelled to see this film again and this time around I did appreciate all the beauty of this film and its boldness for its era. In conclusion, I really do believe that there is a decent film in all of this and that the two extreme ratings are not the only options. It is a matter of preference and how much blood and gore you can stomach to watch. Though if you are a movie fanatic and a huge fan of Korean cinema, I urge you to watch this film twice and truly appreciate its unique beauty
