Bin-jip (2004, KOR/JAP) C-90m. **½ D: Kim Ki-duk. Starring Lee Seong-yeon, Lee Hyun-kyoon, Kwon Hyuk-ho, Choi Jeong-ho. Typically low-key yet quirky drama from Korea's Kim Ki-duk. He follows an unusual burglar, who breaks into people's apartments and spends a few days there without stealing anything. One day he is discovered by a young woman who is abused by her husband. They form a bond and become companions. Very little dialogue, not easy to watch, but has lots of interesting, touching ideas. For the director's followers, this won multiple awards in Venice. Kim also scripted, edited and produced the picture. English title: 3-IRON. |
