All About Lily Chou-Chou (Riri Shushu no subete) (2002, Unrated)
Words can't describe how much I adore Shunji Iwai's masterwork. Never have I seen a movie depict the lif of teenagers with more realism. The movie also handles the theme of pop idol adoration and features one of the best soundtracks ever (yes with music from Lily Chou Chou who is a real artist, in fact Tarantino was so imressed by this movie that he asked Lily Chou Chou to make a soundtrack for Kill Bill). One of the loveliest movies ever made. |

Nabbeun namja (Bad Guy) (2001, Unrated)
Kim Ki Duk's Bad Guy is a brilliant study of vanity, sexual obsession and moral. It tells the story of a pimp (Han-Ki) who forces a girl into prostitution out of revenge. Bad guy is dark, extremely emotional, violent and forces us to think. Many parts of the movie can be interpreted as a dreamlike, wish-fulfillment fantasy from the viewpoint of Han-Ki. The movie leaves many questions. Why does the pimp never speak? Why the voyeurism? Are Han-Ki's emotions hate or love and pain? What do the torn photo's mean? And the girl dressed in red, is it the heroine in the future (Karma) or is it someone from the past (Han-Ki's ex?)? There is always more under the surface than it seems with Kim Ki Duk's movies, this movie demands multiple views to understand how brilliant it is. Watching Bad Guy is like entering an emotional roller coaster. It challenges all conventional ideas we have about love. Watch it with an open mind and U will have a very powerful experience. |
