Na's best movie so far!
After six years of waiting, The Wailing finally arrived on our screens, the third film by Na Hong-Jin, a director who already left us with a twisted ass in his two previous (and excellent) The Chaser and The Yellow Sea.However, and without leaving aside the thriller path, here we find a much more unleashed, supernatural and wild Na. If anyone doubted that he was going to soften because he had money from 20th Century Fox, forget it.
The Wailing is pure evil, blood and madness. In short: a work as absurd as it is essential.

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.

A turning point in the Korean film industry.
I could say that Shiri, Nowhere to Hide and The Island were my entry into South Korean cinema. But Old Boy was the film that undoubtedly opened my eyes and convinced me that something very big was brewing in that country in terms of cinematographic quality.I remember leaving the cinema in Granada and thinking that I had never seen anything as visceral and authentic. Pure, violent cinema, very close to its characters and with a captivating artistic finish.
Old Boy is an unforgettable experience and a milestone in the history of recent cinema.

Imprescindible, sin más.
"Past Lives" es una coproducción entre EEUU y Corea del Sur, que supone el debut como directora de Celine Song y está protagonizada por Greta Lee, Teo Yoo y John Magaro.Se trata de una cinta de corte intimista, rodada a caballo entre Seúl y Nueva York, que se encuadraría dentro del género de drama romántico. En mi opinión, es el reverso serio y realista de la también maravillosa y totalmente recomendada "My Sassy Girl".
Destaca por su maravilloso guion, buenas interpretaciones y estupenda fotografía, suponiendo en definitiva, una más que justa candidata al Oscar a mejor película en 2024.
