BEAUTIFUL AND PHILOSOPHICAL



Kim Ki-Duk is one of those „visually orgasmic” directors, and his trademark production and „empty” shots become clearer than ever in a philosophical and highly symbollic Korean folk tale „Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... And Spring”.

The script itself is painstakingly slow, but the message of forgiveness and purity in life is pretty straightforward. Set upon a floating raft temple on a lake, it wouldn't deviate much from its original location, as the story itself. Every shot will drag the best out of the magical scenery and changes through the seasons, trailing the evolution of the main character along that way. The ending will be highly symbollic, leaving the average viewer dazzled and somewhat saturated with hidden messages.

„Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring” is a PhD in production and camera for movie directors and a beautifully filmed tale for everyone else.
