Review

 

From acclaimed Korean director Kim Ki-duk comes this tale of redemption and revenge.

Two teenage girls, Yeo-jin and Jae-yeong, decide to fund their escape to Europe through prostitution, with the former conducting the business and the latter "entertaining" the clientele. But when Jae-yeong suffers the consequences of their actions, Yeo-jin embarks on a quest to redeem herself by tracking down their former clients one by one to replicate the earlier transactions. But when her father discovers what Yeo-jin has been doing, he snaps and decides to avenge his daughter's innocence...

Winner of the Silver Bear for Best Director at the 2004 Berlin Film Festival.

This movie really is great. The story is generally very very dark, young teenage girls who want to move to Europe feel their only way to make money is by selling their bodies. Underage prostitution is immediately a very dark subject but it goes on to become darker.
Once again Kim Ki-duk proves his writing an directing skills in this one, like most his movies the main character has little dialogue but still manages to carry the part and give you enough to get into the movie.
This movie proves Kim Ki-duk is a future legend of directing, his style is so simple yet brilliant you'll be blown away. If you're a fan of Asian cinema, or movies of a darker nature check this out. You won't be disappointed.

One of the most emotional films you'll ever see,poignant and soulful without slipping into hollywood sentiment, this is raw, heart felt filmaking, life affirming & about the bad choices we sometimes make, but the hope that carries us through.lump in the throat stuff and emotionaly rewarding
