Review of I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK (2006) by Phil N — 26 Apr 2008
A departure for director Chan-wook Park after his Vengeance trilogy after saying he wanted to make a film that his 12yr old daughter could watch. I'm not sure this quirky tale of two inmates in a mental facility is quite the answer though.
She thinks she's a cyborg and he tries to convince her to start eating again... at times whimsical, at times impenetrable, it's a mixed bag. There's plenty of surreal images including Young-goon going on a rampage as her fingers change into gun barrels and the whole production design is impressive.
Overall the story doesn't match up to the masterful direction, so approach with some caution.
