Korea w/d Kim Ki-Duk
Kim's amazing, enigmatic film never ceases to fascinate me. We follow an opaque, silent young man as he crashes in people's homes, fixing what needs to be fixed, doing the laundry, eating their food, sleeping in their beds, etc. He picks up a battered woman along the way and the two of them carry on.
A rich, symbolic film subject to many interpretations...a castigation of material wealth, a paean to living softly on the land, perhaps even a fever dream by the woman...who knows. Everyone responds to this one differently...which makes it a success for me.
