Review of 3-Iron (2004) by Bruno C — 26 Feb 2008
Between this and "Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...and Spring", I've become a fan of director Kim Ki-duk...while the latter is a 4-part Buddhist themed story of life cycles, "3-Iron" very loosely touches on an Eastern spiritual theme/proverb, what in my mind is a "twisted, uber-quirky chick-flick".
Worried about subtitles? There isn't much dialog, since both protagonists have no lines what so ever! The film is a unique, superbly crafted tale of clandestine love of two lost (or phantom) souls.
..who accidentally cross paths and fall in love despite Tae-suk's transient nature and Sun-hwa's married life. And while it looks as if the film will end in tragedy while the couple are on the run for a new life together.
..the boundaries between reality and fantasy become blurred...
