Review of 3-Iron

3-Iron (2004)
7/10
Tender and quiet oddball
30 March 2006
Kim Ki-duk is a master of cinema. I await his every movie with high anticipation. Sometime he falls a bit (just a little) behind that anticipation like with 'Samaria' which was good thematically and imaginary, but lacked a good resolve. 'Bin Jib' is compared nothing thematically (has no important issue or topic). It is more floaty and dreamy than anything else. Actually Kim Ki-duk reinvents himself here and makes a movie where the underlying factors for the characters has no meaning. The result is a comedy that despite that the dialog is sparse and the script is thin somehow dances like a feather on a breeze. And this haunting Middle-Eastern music still haunts me half a year after.

The reason I was a little bit (again a tiny bit) disappointed was that I expected Kim to tell me something. Well, next time then.
