Review of The Isle (2000) by Steve W — 23 Jun 2012
Kim Ki-Duk's movie is as rough and cold as the lake. Heejin is a mute woman who sells rides and bait by day, and her body by night. She soon becomes enamored by an ex-cop with suicidal tendencies. Their relationship becomes a weird and twisted love as she cannot voice her feelings properly and he takes any physical advance as just sex.
It evolved into a creepy yet weird bond that ends with a philosophical note. A layered and complex drama from the excellent Kim Ki-Duk.
