    I love the films of Ki-duk Kim so much. Seriously he's fucking amazing. His subtle approach to film making allows to to wallow in his incredible images. His symbolism and lack of dialogue give you a chance to really get involved in the thought process of cinema. Breath is one his...( read more) most difficult works, not just because of the plot but also as it appears to work in conjunction with many of his other films. Loneliness being a major theme that may keep away many viewers. He does however find the beauty in dark and disturbing themes, especially visual beauty. The snowmen created here, or the paintings within jail. It certainly deserves more than one watch.

    Soom is Kim Ki-Duk's most complex film. It starts very dramatic and sweet, but ends up being a very complicated drama. The acting is superb, and the psychology portrayed through the characters is understood by mature minds. Kim Ki-Duk scores once again. Awesome film.

    78/100

    it's more talkative than 3-Iron, but i liked this one little less.. again and again, it tells an inexplicable unique story, unusual characterization and quite disturbing silent 'violence'.

    breath is something human beings unconsciously take for granted. try hold it for 5 minutes...( read more) then see if they still dare to treat it like they used to do.. :)
