Review of Burning (2018) by Jluis_001 — 25 May 2019
This is a bleak film, mostly in tone and atmosphere, not narratively.
It's also too dubious and spaced. The film relies heavily in ambiguity and certainly challenges you to infer things but not always what is insinuated is really rewarding or satisfying when the plot isn't really direct.
Burning is a dense film, I wouldn't say complex but it does has certain deep and hidden layers that invite you to revisit it, unfortunately its slow character study and the slow narrative are not so exciting especially because I think that seeing it again would imply not to enjoy it again but to notice the things you overlooked the first time and I say that because I'm 100% sure that there were things that I didn't quite noticed.
Immersive no doubt about that but not as captivating as I had been led to believe.
