Empty, meaningless and forgettable.
"Wild Animals" was Kim Ki-duk's second film after the more than acceptable "Crocodile", which however here is shown to be absolutely lacking in ideas and concreteness in a film that today is difficult to watch due to its unjustified violence. its misogyny and irritatingly amateurish nature.The dirt and intimacy that were apparent in his previous film here become a vulgar, repetitive work that in the end goes nowhere. If what Kim wanted to do was an apology for the absurdity of violence, he achieved it.
But as a work of cinema, it is horrible.
