Review of The Wailing (2016) by Juyeon S — 07 Jan 2018

Now this is a movie to blow one's mind. It is a film that truly tells how important directors are. It's philosophical, mystical, thrilling, and entertaining journey. It really is a journey as the audience is kept under the dark and gets to walk the steps of the protagonist.

Just fantastic. It is, however, complicated. If you don't have a background knowledge on the ritual and biblical symbolisms, it is hard to understand. The best way to enjoy the film thoroughly is to watch it first and guess on your own, watch or read some theories and explanations, then watch for the second time with the knowledge you've gained.

The whole experience will come in a full circle more than you know it. Truly phenomenal director and actors.
