Review of The Wailing (2016) by Kasia S — 18 Jul 2016
To chyba niezbyt dobrze, je?li film wywo?uje g?ównie skojarzenia z innymi filmami... :P Tak czy siak, I tak jest to jedna z lepszych korea?skich produkcji; nie mam ju? z?udze?, ?e arcydzie?a na miar? "Zagadki zbrodni" ("Memories of Murder") powstaj? w Korei masowo.
:P "It's a blender of all your favorite recent genre films from Korea, there's the bumbling but competently-passable detective, à la Bong Joon-ho's Memories of Murder, there's some comic relief from the people overseeing the fallout of a deathly crisis that's gripped the town, à la Bong's The Host, there's an exorcism that beats up a demon about as bad as Oldboy did in Park Chan-wook's Oldboy.
The problem is-after two fantastic hours of volleying between shocks, mysteries, and oddities (child-interrupted coitus! who-dealt-it office farts! re-animated corpses!), The Wailing's tone shifts to super serious and tacks on multiple different endings and rug pulls for another 40 minutes, à la Kim Jee-woon's I Saw the Devil.
