Today is Korean movie day for me! First up is Treeless Mountain
Then this evening is Thirst by Chan-Wook Park – I really enjoyed his trilogy of Old Boy, Lady Venegance & Sympathy for Mr Venegance, so I am keen as hell to see his take on the vampire movie:
I saw Treeless Mountain. The kids’ acting is very realistic. The cinematography (the long shots of the sky in particular) were breathtaking. Curious to know how you like it.
Don’t forget “I’m a cyborg but that’s OK” from Park Chan-Wook… vey nice film too.
Curious about Thirst now !
OMG! Just got back from seeing Thirst – what a fantastically twisted film! I highly reccomend it, it definitely has all of Park Chan-wooks genius touches but it was also surprisingly funny in places; not via dialogue but through circumstances…
I enjoyed Treeless Mountain, you are very right Matt – the two girls performances are very good. A few times I got a little frustrated with the relentless closeups, but it was very much told from their point of view…
Two very good films in very different ways!
That was a crazy movie
