Of the limited number of Korean auteur Kim Ki-duk's movies, I
have only seen a handful of them, and mostly they are the
relatively contemporary movies, like The Bow, 3-Iron and Time. The
feeling I got from them all is consistent - that it's not your
usual storytelling, as he seemed more often than not to obscure any
intended message, or meaning in his tales, much like searching for
an Easter Egg, or worse, that needle in the haystack to get
something out of it. If I can summarize his movies in a statement,
then it'll be to expect something that's totally unexpected, though
not necessary always in a good way.
