Breath

Kim Ki-duk sembra voler dire qualcosa ma non ci riesce molto in questo film. Viene diretto in modo normale e la trama ha dei punti che non mi convincono. C’è però un aspetto interessante ovvero che i carcerati qui non parlano ma si menano e basta, e magari aiutano ogni tanto. Come ho detto ha delle idee ma non vengono trasmesse bene come in altre sue opere e questo penalizza molto il film che poteva essere di gran lunga superiore a ciò che è. In ogni caso è un bel film.

Kim Ki-duk's breath is between an art installation and psychological paychodrama. Psychologically, it might be the most complex Kim's work. The premise of a woman longing for her death row inmate is a great projection of themes of isolation, repression, and emotional projection.
However, this rich plot wasnt fully explored in this film. The narrative felt more like a concept sketch rather than a finiahed piece of art. Moments that are meant to devestate feel strangely muted. Its a film of ideas rather than emotions, and while thats intriguing, it keeps Breatg from being as powerful as it could be. Undeniable artistry, but rather evokative than immerisve.
74/100

If he’s a serial killer then what’s the worst that could happen to a girl who’s already hurt ? 🗣️

i found the concept of a married woman developing an obsessive infatuation with a death row inmate to be intriguing for a screen narrative. however, i struggled to connect with the characters. the film seemed to lack the depth needed to convey a convincing, melancholic romance. despite the storyline being straightforward to follow, i was left without a compelling reason to invest in the relationship between the protagonists. consequently, i felt emotionally unengaged by the film's conclusion.

aw, why wasn’t this a love story between all the prisoners. when they’re weren’t punching each other or trying to commit suicide they were so gentle and sweet 🥺
