The Isle

Kim Ki-Duk’s The Isle is sick yet sensual, gross yet gorgeous and eccentric yet erotic. I should have read this before watching the film:

[The Isle] became notorious for being difficult to watch, with stories of viewers vomiting or passing out during the more gruesome scenes when the film premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

  2. I watched The Isle long ago and still remember vividly those fishing hooks. These are some very good Korean films i would recommend: Xuan Ha Thu Dong…Roi lai Xuan, The Host, Old Boy, and The Chaser (best movie last few years I’ve seen)
