I thought you have seen 3-Iron. It is English title for Bin-Jip, you sure you haven't seen it? Anyway, if you haven't I think you'll like it. It is really extra-ordinary.Just looked both of those up on IMDB, I think I'll add them to my netflix queue.

Ahhh, they are all like my children.

Added 3-Iron too.
For some reason I thought you had already seen it and loved it as well. I was surprised when you said you hadn't.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.

It's at the top of my queue! I just turned in the Fringe disc this morning so it should ship out tomorrow and arrive at my place Saturday morning.
I hope you guys know how embarassing this is for me. I've always prided myself in being a diehard Park fan and now to find out that there's a film of his I haven't seen yet, well quite frankly I'm a bit heartbroken
Don't worry. You're shizzie even in this situation.It's at the top of my queue! I just turned in the Fringe disc this morning so it should ship out tomorrow and arrive at my place Saturday morning.

Fringe.
It'll be interesting to see what you think of I'm a Cyborg But That's Ok. I am a huge fan of Korean cinema, but Chan Wook Park (and Ki-duk Kim for that matter) are rather hit-or-miss for me. I thought Cyborg was a total miss--didn't care for it at all. 3-Iron was one of Kim's that I actually did enjoy, though not as much as Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring. Most of Kim's other films I've seen I've not only disliked, but actively hated.
What are the Korean movies you like then?
Hmmm, according to my catalog system, Korean movies that I've rated 3 stars or above are listed below. That covers the range from "like" to "really like" to "absolutely love."
Perhaps further discussion of Korean movies should get its own thread?

Here, there are some I have seen, some I haven't. I would like to check out some.
I thought there was a thread about Asian movies. I searched for it, but couldn't find. This may be an appropriate thread: Classic&Foreign Films
To be brutally honest I've loved every single Chan-wook Park I've seen. (Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, Thirst). They're just so damn ... bizarre and unconventional, they fascinate me.
I was watching a subtitled film seminar he gave in Korea about his experiences and how the tragic events in his life inspired his work and his style. It was amazing.
Same for me. I'm A Cyborg But That's Ok is completely different from his other works which I adore. My love for Cyborg is different too. It is just so bizarre and beautiful. I would hug that movie if it was possible.To be brutally honest I've loved every single Chan-wook Park I've seen. (Oldboy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, Lady Vengeance, Thirst).
