Breath

(2007, Kim Ki-Duk)

Continuing to use Kim Ki-Duk as a way of finding more Korean movies I enjoy and this one was perfect for me. An artist expresses her troubled marriage through a crazy affection for a death row inmate. There are many questions that could be answered but most of the time characters remain silent as the weird shit happens. YES! THAT is how to film and keep us in the mystery.


A screenshot from the movie 'Breath' of a young man, Jin, who is a prisoner huddled against the wall to reject the hand that is brushing across his face. An animated gif of a scene from the film 'Breath' of Yeon dancing in sunglasses and summer clothes for Jeon. The walls are painted to resemble the beach. A screenshot of Yeon walking towards the camera in the snow as the blurry figure of a man pursues her. From the movie 'Breath'.
