"7.9.
Kuin jättimäinen kysymysmerkki minulle. Sen sijaan, että teos satuttaisi lapsiprostituutiokuvauksellaan, siinä hupsutellaan lähinnä symbolisella tasolla toimivalla kerronnalla. Ystävyksistä toinen ryhtyy sovittamaan toisen tekoja, kun taas edellisen isä kostaa sovitukset väkivaltaisesti. Lievästi sanottuna en saanut tästä pahemmin otetta tai löytänyt pointtia, kunhan hämmästelin kiinnostuneena hahmojen menoa."
"director: Kim Ki-duk
Like his characters, this director is usually considered as some sort of outsider of the so called 'new korean cinema', but I don't think is possible exclude him while getting to know it, especially considering that new korean cinema is not really a 'style' but a period during wich directors (and the all industry) are (were?) sharing some goals. These goals are somehow present in Kim ki-duk's work too, especially in its earlier phase (before "The Bow").
Getting to this movi"

"In this film Kim Ki-Duk starts to parody himself. Everything is so damn hardcore that it doesn't even make sense anymore and you can't do anything but laugh. And when you see that the main character's car has a register plate number SIX SIX SIX because, it's like, very meaningful and shit, you know that you have taken a plunge into super silliness."

"17.2. DVD/Ajosto
This movie demands a rewatching after I watched it in a place where couple of other guys talk about every scene and what happens on it making following quite a trouble. So, no rating for this time."
