The Bow (Hwal) (2005)

“The regretted Kim Ki Duk clearly marked South Korean cinema in the 2000s.

This "Bow" which looks at itself (no: contemplates itself ...) like a fable at the same time strange and disturbing on old age and the confrontation between modernity and tradition, a fable strewn with pieces sublime poetry and comic-tragic moments.

And it is also to a face that "The Bow" owes all its beauty, that of Han Yeo-reum, one of the most beautiful seen in Asian cinema, made of innocence, strength and love, a shared love that hesitates between the comfort of traditional wisdom and the promise of new horizon.

Kim Ki Duk achieved a film as elusive and uncluttered as it is magnificent and tormented. The kind of movie we would like to see more often.” read more
