Kim Ki-Duk
I wanted to revisit this film to see if my initial impression when seen ten years ago held up. It did, nicely and, if anything seemed even more masterfully done.
Quiet, scenic, minimal dialogue...life lessons imparted to youth - growth, lust, disillusionment, sacrifice, purpose, re-birth...time passes and the cycle repeats.
Very different in tone and theme from his other films...this one is the most accessible, particularly to those Westerners who glorify Eastern thought/philosophy, and the most likely to be remembered in the future.
A timeless masterpiece.
