Nice korean DVD edition
anamorphic widescreen, DTS-ES, 5.1
Sorry, no review here. I once had a Film Net Shop and often
had no time writing reviews and this Great film made such
a buzz upon it's release that reviews could be read everywhere anyway.
Kim Je-woon once was one of my absolute favourite directors and this film was
maybe the highlight of his career.
I just loved his earlier films The Quiet Family in 1998 and The Foul King in
2000. Then this in 2003.
I also liked his A Bittersweet Life in 2005, but then .... meeeh.
4 Great films in a row and also a short i haven't seen (Coming
Home) and the Memories segment in anthology horror
Three was good, but i hated his desperately unfunny spaghetti western The Good,
The Bad, The Weird and i didn't
like I Saw the Devil in 2010 either and his Hollywood movie in 2013 was a catastrophe.
His segment of the Doomsday Book about the truth seeking robot was quite good
however, so, maybe there's hope
for Kim Je-woon yet even thoght there's been 10 years now since he made a really
good feature film
