Review of The Isle (2000) by Kat S — 11 Apr 2008
Quite the thought-provoking film that is typical of Kim Ki-duk. It is very philosophical but at the same time very beautiful to watch as well. At times, you get engrossed in other things other than the story, which can be both a good and bad thing because the scenery detracts you from the characters whose emotional struggles seem to grip you considering their lives are like rollecoasters constantly going up and down.
Personally, not my favorite Ki-Duk film. I thought it was better than Real Fiction, but paled in comparison to 3-Iron and SSFWAS. That being said, The Isle is still a very good film that is beautiful to look and think about. Quite recommended for anybody who loves Korean cinema or Ki-Duk's films.
