Kim Ki-duk

В Латвии от Covid-19 скончался южнокорейский режиссёр Ким Ки Дук



Коронавирус забирает лучших. Вот уже Ким Ки Дук не будет больше снимать свои изумительные фильмы. Верующие в Бога - почему ваш Бог допускает несправедливость? Почему всякая дрянь, издевающаяся над людьми, все еще на земле, а не в аду? Почему всякие мерзавцы вроде Путина и Лукашенко все еще топчут землю, убивают, насилуют, пытают, отравляют людей? Уверен, что оба эти мерзавца даже не слышали, кто такой Ким Ки Дук. Они живут в своем мире, где смерть для них сообщник, где пошлость и алчность их лучшие друзья. Оставят они после себя не фильмы, а горы трупов. Каждый день их жизни увеличивает эту гору. Смерть Путина и Лукашенко нормальным людям принесет лишь радость. Смерть таких, как Ким Ки Дук, приносит грусть.

The coronavirus is killing the best. Now Kim Ki-duk will no longer shoot his amazing films. Believers - Why Does Your God Permit Injustice? Why is all the bastards that mocks people still on earth and not in hell? Why do all sorts of scoundrels like Putin and Lukashenko still trample the ground, kill, rape, torture, poison people? I'm sure neither of these bastards even heard who Kim Ki-duk was. They live in their own world, where death is an accomplice for them, where vulgarity and greed are their best friends. They will leave behind not films, but mountains of corpses. Each day of their lives enlarges this mountain. The death of Putin and Lukashenka will bring only joy to normal people. The death of people like Kim Ki-duk brings sadness.




Kim Ki-duk is a South Korean filmmaker noted for his idiosyncratic "art-house" cinematic works. His films have received many distinctions in the festival circuit.

Kim Ki-duk: So far, I’ve made 10 films in the last 8 years. I don’t know about tomorrow or what will happen in the future. Today is the most important day – that’s my life philosophy. I live day to day and do my very best in the present moment. I’m writing a few stories right now so if one of them is made into a movie, then I will have produced 11 films (in the last 8 years). I don’t have specific plans for further filmmaking. I just try to write consistently when I have time. And I don’t like to make films for the purpose of getting funds or investments (like commercial films). I get inspirations from daily life and by meeting different people. - Interview with Kim Ki-duk. March 19, 2004.

Asian thought, from Hinduism and early Buddhist philosophy up to Japanese poetry, uses the dream metaphor as a means of expressing different modes of human existence. Kim Ki-duk's film Dream develops a plotline determined by adventurous splits of identities and their subsequent fusions. The character of Ran acts like the character Jin's avatar in a Second Life virtual space. What looks like a film about dreams and waking life and its imbrications is, in reality, more complex because a supplementary aspect is introduced into the symmetrical dream-reality system through the acts of the dreamless, sleepwalking Ran. The sleepwalker's state of consciousness is special; it is even more mysterious than that of the dreamer, which necessitates a more refined interpretation of the relationship between Jin's and Ran's respective states of awareness. ‘The person of non-mind sees the objects of the world as neither real nor unreal, as neither independent substances nor dreams or illusions’, writes Thomas Kasulis (1981: 44). With the help of her no-mind, Ran overcomes the distinction between Jin's dream (that she acts out) and the reality in which she is acting.

7 DAYS OF CREATION | ‘인간, 공간, 시간 그리고 인간’
'Human, Space, Time and Human' ('Inkan, gongkan, sikan grigo inkan'):
Film Review | Berlin 2018

Kim Ki-duk's 23rd feature portrays the violence on board a ship stranded in mid-air.
As a metaphorical tale about contemporary politics and a biblical allegory about the history of humankind, Kim Ki-duk's latest feature is sensationalistic, simplistic and sadistic.

One on One (2014)

One on One: After a high school student is murdered, the seven suspects are hunted down by members of a terrorist organization. Director: Ki-duk Kim. Writer: Ki-duk Kim
"90 Minuten Schweigen. Anstelle von Dialogen gibt es: wortlose Gewalt, blanken Hass, aber auch ein wenig Liebe. Der aus dem Jahr 2013 stammende Film „Moebius“ des südkoreanischen Filmemachers Kim Ki-duk sorgte durch sein radikales Konzept für Aufsehen und erhielt in seinem Heimatland ungeschnitten sogar die höchste Altersfreigabe überhaupt. Dabei ist „Moebius“ längst nicht der erste Film von Kim, der für derartige Aufregung sorgte – er ist dafür bekannt, das Extreme zu suchen, Grenzen zu sprengen. Auch „One on One“ möchte dort weitermachen, wo „Moebius“ aufgehört hat: beim Schmerz, den sich Menschen gegenseitig zufügen können. Einige Menschen haben ein Verbrechen begangen. Andere Menschen finden sich in einer kleinen Gruppe und wollen Rache walten lassen. In fiktiven Prozessen foltern und quälen sie die mutmaßlichen Übeltäter, bis diese ihre Taten gestehen. Arm, reich, jung, alt – vollkommen egal. Jeder hat das Böse in sich schlummern, das nur darauf wartet, geweckt zu werden. Und so kommt es, dass in „One on One“ böse Menschen anderen bösen Menschen wehtun und sich an der Qual anderer ergötzen, ganze ermüdende zwei Stunden lang." - One on One - Kontrovers in die Belanglosigkeit: Der neue Film des südkoreanischen Provokateurs Kim Ki-duk versagt auf ganzer Linie.

Весна, лето, осень, зима... и снова весна.
Никому не дано нарушить смену времен года, когда вначале все рождается, затем растет, а потом угасает. Ход жизни неподвластен даже двум монахам, живущим в плавучей хижине на озере, окруженном горами...
Рецензии - "Настоящая жемчужина в коллекции Ким Ки Дука", "Через символизм, представленный режиссером, перед зрителями открывается картина мира и красоты.", "Очень красивый, сильный, наполненный философией и мудростью фильм.", "После просмотра ощущалось спокойствие и умиротворённость, подобные фильму. Мало картин, которые на протяжении всего, почти безмолвного экранного времени, могут столько донести, объяснить и рассказать зрителю.", "...этот фильм — шедевр!". Больше здесь.

Остров.
По безмятежной глади озера дрейфуют плавучие рыбацкие домики, их хозяйка, загадочная и молчаливая Хви-Джин, днем продает рыбакам еду, а ночью — свое тело. Она покорно терпит издевательства своих гостей, не подозревающих, что их жизнь целиком зависит от ее воли и капризов...
Рецензии - "Эти маленькие скудные домики, так похожие на мелкие и жалкие мирки приезжающих сюда людей. Эта атмосфера беспросветной безысходности.", "В целом «Остров» можно охарактеризовать как меланхоличный фильм, пронизанный символизмом.". Больше здесь.
