Their world turns upside down when their 8-year-old daughter, So-won, is subjected to a brutal attack. Miraculously surviving the act of cruelty, So-won is left with deep psychological and emotional wou...
Can we ever truly escape the shadows of our past? This question echoes at the heart of Ki-Duk Kim’s “Pieta” (피에타), a film that delves deep into the complexities of human nature and morality. Known for his contemplative work in “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring,” Kim continues his exploration of the human psyche in “Pieta.” This movie, an in...
Park Chan-Wook reimagines the classic vampire archetype, moving away from the stereotypical high-cheekboned, blood-sucking figures of popular culture. His take in “Thirst” is a fresh, evolved vampire narrative that feels surprisingly relatable, despite the fantastical nature of its subject. In “Thirst,” Park Chan-Wook’s creativity shines through wi...

The drama surrounding the dysfunctional family acts as a connecting tissue to address th...

Hong Sang-soo is a prolific filmmaker who often finds emotional depth in his pocket-size dramas amidst mundane and awkward circumstances, often resulting from fundamental misunderstandings and misinterpretations among the characters. A look at his filmography will show how he recalibrates and rehashes dramas around different renditions of the same ...
‘Dark Figure of Crime’ is a gritty, visceral crime-dramathat works both as a fine character study, exploring the inimical side of human nature, and a drama about hope in a bleak and dejected world. It is everything that Kim Hyeong-jun’s murder mystery ‘No Mercy’ wanted to achieve but fell short of due to his overindulgence in smartness. Hyong-min’s...
Kim Ki-Duk’s ‘The Bow’ is an elusive and ambiguous character study of a 16-year-old girl who has spent a decade on a boat. The girl is living under the guardianship of an old man with a multipurpose bow, who plans to marry her when she turns 17. She has been away from civilization for a decade, and that has serious psychological implications eviden...
