Official Zhuk Rating: 6.9 bananas
fun to watch, a bit too slow at times, slightly unrealistic, yet intriguing.
surprising ending for a revenge part of the movie, probably the most poorly thought out revenge in all Korean movies.
at one point during our viewing YinYin had to check how much running time is left in the film, because compared to an average Korean revenge stuff there was not enough time, hence the bad ending of the film. it simply needed more time and thought to complete it.
It is difficult to describe the movie. Actually to describe what is attractive and/or exciting about the movie for me. You could say that it begins more than slow, but will build up and be very disturbing toward the end. I'm not gonna give anything away from the story, but if you have seen some Korean movies, you might know what you are getting yourself into here!
It is sort of a character study and a very weird and dark social commentary to (if you want it to be). I liked the group dynamic, I liked the grey tones, I liked that it was different. I can't guarantee though that you will like it. And it might not be the ideal choice to start getting to know Korean cinema.
