First of all, right now my "sain" half and the cinéphile in me are fighting over this movie, so I have to write both point of views.

Cinéphile:

Firstly, it's a "silent" movie, so they never talk to each other, you only hear their sounds or the noise of the surrounding. Just this fact alone makes it thrilling and entertaining to watch.

Secondly the acting was splendid. Seriously. Since the movie is a "silent" movie, you can only focus on their faces, sounds and body language. And they really can pull it off. There are so many moments you wish you could find a bit of akwardness, a hint that reminds you that they are only acting, which would make it so much easier to watch the movie. But even in the most dreadful moments they will go all out.

Thirdly: The whole storyline and the metaphors. If you like cryptic movies that give you a lot to think about and to deciffer, this one is perfect. There are so many hidden symbols, repitions and insinuations, that you have to watch it at least two times to grasp it all. The storyline my not be new but it's a the hell of tragic comedy. One second you stare at the screen in disbelief and disgust and the other one you start to laugh insainly, astonished that you are even able to laugh in this situation.

Fourth the movie lives from it's great shots, those pictures from which you can't look away, the colours and the composing of every scene. You may not like the picture but it comes with a pretty picture frame.

The "sain" me:

The first time I watched it I was hiding behind a chair, plugging my ears not being able to watch some of the scenes. It was the first time in my life that I nearly threw up because of a scene in a movie. And I had a glass of soju after watching it.

So yes, it is an heavy one. If you can't stand violance or drastic pictures or even just a hint of it, you really shouldn't watch it. But, from an artistic point of view it's a fantastic movie. All those pictures say more then any word could ever say.

The artistic side of my mind screams out how beautiful and aesthetic this film is, but at the same time this film was fucked lmao.

Since watching this film i still debate whether i hated or loved this film.
It is to this day on of the most what-da-fuck movies i have ever seen, but at the same time, this silent film paints a portrait that intrigues my artistic soul so fiercely, i don't even know.

You're either going to hate this film or you're going to love it. There is no in between here, my friend.

The story itself, is so weird, after you watch it, you sit back and recount what just happened and you won't even understand, it's that weird. I could go into detail of how weird this film is, but spoilers are not allowed.

If you plan to watch this film, have an open mind. that's all i can say.

WTF!!

Like I said in the headline, WTF did I just watch?? I will say this is different than any other movie I’ve seen, but that’s not a good thing. No dialogue, yep you read that right, nothing. The acting was good. I guess rather than dialogue, you are supposed to just watch the emotions in their faces? There is gang rape, incest, castration, murder, suicide, sex, nudity, love, hate…. Just all very weird right up to the ending. Watch it if you are curious and don’t mind everything I’ve mentioned. But, I just can’t figure out why it was even written, directed and filmed. At least they didn’t need to hire a script writer.

It is a silent movie i had no idea n that made the movie even more beautiful.
Ok the incest tag? Doesn't matter much. I dnt see it as an incest bcz they have their own reason for being this way so dnt let it bother you. Although i was here for incest .
The movie is beautifully done i love everything about it. I even cried watching it which i dint expect at all. It has heavy emotions and i would not recommend it if you dont have an open mind.
I loved the acting of the father he is really a good father n the actor is really good.
The kid is an eye candy .he was frustrated at first he took his anger out on the person who loved him the most n he has his reason but i liked the character development in him in the end. He is a brave boy.

I hated the mother's character the most in this movie, for god sake affair is not a big deal, just get a divorce n get out dnt go around ruining other people's lives.

The movie is pretty amazing,dnt let negative comment bother you n give it a go.

WHOA. This film is INSANE. Seriously no joke you need ROCK SOLID BALLS to stomach this one without throwing up at least once!! I dare you lol not quite Takashi miike but pretty damn CLOSE. I know a lot of people think Audition is the most horror they've seen but to me after going on an Asian and European horror movies this one time trust me Audition is very tame in comparison to Ichi the killer by Takashi miike which is guaranteed to scar you for life XD
Anyway, I digress. This film is kind of like The Chaser, it's very raw and REAL. But much more gruesome and horrific.
Literally I've not been this mesmerized by a film with so less actual dialog!
As for the acting, direction it's perfect. The way they showed the desperate circumstances of the characters and the vile violence they get caught up in. It breaks arbitrary boundaries of right and wrong.
