What is good and what is bad At this point, I still consider Kim Ki-duk the best director of mankind. Because I still don’t find the words to describe his films of the zero years. Which are imbued with such extraordinary poetry that it will be above any verbal constructions invented in my head.
In the 10s, Kim went into the topic of violence, and his recent works are so different from the handwriting of a Korean that you can write something about them. Dissolve is associated with previously seen simple Kazakh films, not burdened with a large budget. There are morals in these films, questions about right and wrong. And so Morality at full height appeared in the filmography of Kim Ki-duk. And you can’t beat it here, because behind the main plot you can’t find any aesthetic things, romance, or any symbols. Secondary characters are schematic to the limit, and it remains only to look at the main character. It's very simple - this is the wrong thing to do, and she, the girl, knows it.
From the handwriting of the master, there was only a kind of "spiral" - the repetition of the situation again and again, each time with a new degree of tension. Until quantity turns into quality. Until knowledge becomes understanding. Until the knowledge of sin turns into the irretrievable bitterness of the taste of sin.
