Guest nokcha Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 Can anybody give me a good description of this movie?? Because i really wanted to see it because of Jae Hee...is it a comedy or drama?? This is an 'art' film, and definitely a drama with a few comedic moments. It is not a mainstream film that is easy to define, but it leaves a strong impression. After reading the previous posts, you'll get a sense that most people didn't really get it, but most enjoyed it. Jae Hee is really good in this movie, and with practically no dialogue, you can tell he has amazing charisma. Kim Ki Duk is known for making art/independent films. He is quoted somewhere, if I can find it, I'll post it later, explaining the ending of the movie. Basically it's very philosophical about our existence, and where we draw the line between what is reality and the reality we create, and is that really real.....

Guest deaxe Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I just love this movie, it's amazing! I bought it, and I watched it over 5 times in 2 weeks... This movie really made a impression on me. Jae Hee is amazing is this movie, even though he didn't say a word during the whole movie he acted really good. Kim Ki-duk is a wonderful director! In Norwegian the title is "Tomme hus" witch means Empty houses. I like the fact that it was so little dialogue, because then you can concentrate on all the details and everything that's going on in the movie.

whoamax Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Really enjoyed it. The lack of dialogue between the two main characters worked in favor of the movie definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kiia Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 This is probably my favorite movie ever. I like it so much! c: I love the mystical atmosphere of it and the lack of dialogue is something that's not so common in movies. Especially with main characters! It's beautifully made and I also like the ending which is not made to be too clear and obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
