Despite all the sadness and cruelty that have become the calling card of the director, the film does not leave behind a heavy impression. On the contrary, Kim Ki-duk’s nostalgia is a series of melancholy landscapes, expressive musical accompaniment and subtle feelings of tortured people. All this leaves hope for humanity, compassion and light sadness.

The change of seasons is cyclical: we observe the birth of life in nature, then its growth, aging and extinction. The same thing is seen by two of the cabins on the lake, the teacher and his student. It is a very simple but at the same time extremely complex film. It is filled to the brim with peace and harmony. In addition, as a bonus, the viewer sees the director himself at the end of the picture. At the time, the film received the highest ratings and ratings of film critics.

The Empty House (Empty House, 2004) In the center of the audience's attention is a rather strange character - a silent young man who lives in houses while their owners are away. He doesn’t just use the kitchen and bed, but he does. smoothly Failed things in the house. The guy looks at the interior, photos, and himself is photographed against the background of pictures.

And one day in one of the “empty houses” the hero meets an unhappy woman. Mutual interest sends a strange couple on a motorcycle somewhere in the night. But do not expect from Kim Ki-duk banal beautiful romantic story without nuances. An incomparably beautiful story about intimacy, love, feelings and their transience.

The Bow (2005) is a lonely barge in the sea with only an old man and a young girl on it. Not counting periodically visiting fishermen. Everyone takes him for his grandfather, but the girl is his found, and he is her fiancé. Don’t take the picture too literally as another story about an unequal marriage. The film is permeated with very subtle reflections on the transience of life and lack Someone who doesn't belong to you. In addition, the film is saturated with an extremely aesthetic picture, vivid images, symbols, melancholy and, of course, beautiful music.
