I watched Bad Guy last night and it was great, as usual. As expected. Whenever I want to watch a movie and be completely satisfied at the end, I'd usually pick something by Kim Ki-Duk. I'm never disappointed. Maybe weirded out sometimes, but not disappointed.
So, Bad Guy. It's about this guy who works as some sort of security person for a brothel and he falls in love with one of the prostitutes, a college girl who I'm guessing works there because she needs to pay for tuition. He doesn't talk until near the end of the movie, but nevertheless, it doesn't spoil the film. On the contrary, it makes things even more interesting.
What can I say? Kim Ki-Duk is a genius.
Two thumbs and all toes up.
I just finished watching Kim Ki-Duk's second-newest movie, Time. I am at a loss for words. It's sheer genius, as usual, although this is probably the talkiest of all his movies (because he has movies like Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter... and Spring and 3 Iron, where the characters didn't even say a word but it was fantastic nevertheless). Although I like the two I mentioned better, he still is in excellent form here nevertheless.
Time is about a girl who gets plastic surgery because she thinks it would prolong her relationship with her boyfriend. While she wasn't particularly ugly, she was always jealous and paranoid that her boyfriend was getting tired of her and was apt to replace her with someone new and prettier. Something like that. It's slightly a bit more complicated, but in a good, horrific, Kim Ki-Dukish way.
Totally recommended, if I had four hands, I'd give it four thumbs up!
