Our take

A far cry from his earlier provocations, master agitator Kim-Ki Duk embraces serenity in this gorgeously lensed contemplation of mortality and nature. Raptly observant and inconspicuously wise, this delicately spiritual film evokes the fleeting sorrow and beauty of existence.

Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
