Anyone else seen this? Best Gook-Kino I've seen in years.

Chaser and Wailing made by the same director, mate. What else did you saw by koreans though?

It's a beautiful looking film.

One of my favourites from last year.

well, not to much I guess

The usual people mention. The trilogy of films including Oldboy. Thought the other two were shit, thought Oldboy got worse after repeated viewings, although still decent.

A Bittersweet Life. Kind of bland

Memories of Murder. I remember it being well made but it fell flat for me.

I Saw The Devil. Thought it was trash. Won't bother explaining why.

The Host. I remember enjoying this but it was nothing special. Primo gookflick I suppose.

Joint Security Area. Enjoyable. Forgettable. The only thing I do remember is how overly dramatic it was.

Taegukgi, or Brotherhood I think it was. Same criticism as before, battle scenes were well done.

I've seen maybe 10 or so more movies I guess, I can't remember them off the top of my head.

Definitely going to check out The Yellow Sea, now that you've told me it's the same director as The Chaser and this movie. There's apparently been quite a few decent Korean films this year so I'll give them a chance, consider this year has been one of the worst years for regular western films I can remember.

Yes it certainly was very nice to look at. Not just the camera work but also le mise en scène

A nice bonus for me was seeing a more rural Korea on film. It feels like most of the Korean films I've seen have been set in dense cityscapes. The Shamanism angle was cool to see to.

Honestly, it's a strange film right? I can't quite put my finger on it. It feels like a mashup of several genres. There's comedy, some elements that feel slapstick and others that are more black comedy. There's fantasy and horror, and there again some elements feel well done standard b-movie scares and intrigue and others that are kino. And it's wrapped up in a drama movie that's tremendously well scripted and acted.

I don't know if you'd call it a criticism or not, but like I said I still can't figure it out. For lack of better descriptive terms, and using hyperbole, would you describe this more towards a straight up mystery/horror "flick", or would you elevate it above that into something more "kino".

Fuck, I'm not a faggot, I can't describe what I mean. Let me say it like this, I think everyone would agree It Follows and The Witch are both great horror films. Where on the scale between those two would The Wailing lie?

downloading now - love the director this slipped under my radar

Anything else I missed from Korea in 2016?

Handmaiden
Age of shadows

Is it a horror movie? I can watch thrillers all day long but something about how cheap and manipulative most of horrors are pisses me off. The only ones I've liked that I can recall were The Witcher and Antichrist.
