Review of Burning (2018) by Erfan_Ms10 — 11 Jun 2023

Everything this movie did I hated , there wasnt anything non-pretentious , those sounds that was in the movie couldnt be called soundtracks , the cinematography was poor , soulless and shaky. 20 minutes of the movie could be easily cut and I woudnt notice it if I watch it again . There were too many long , boring and purposeless shots that just showed the movie is just trying too hard .maybe if the movie was less than 2 and a half hours would be better.

The main charachter acting was absolutely horrendous (hae mi and steve yuen actings were pretty good though) , but all these aside my problem was the storytelling, it was extremely boring and too mundane(even for murakami) I think the only way someone can enjoy this movie is that they have read the amazing book and they are just curious how it is turned out . Otherwise it is ABSOLUTELY NOT a good gateway towards the amazing world of murakami . I am absolutely disappointed.
