Pieta behind the scenes gags

The film title Pieta means "benefit" in Italian.
The film was selected into the competition of the 69th Venice International Film Festival. Due to the conflict between the scheduled August 29th and the Venice Film Festival schedule, it will be postponed to September 6th in Korea.
This is Ki-duk Kim's 18th movie. According to the judgment made by the Korean film censorship agency on this film, because there are a lot of violence and sexual scenes in the film, they gave this film a rating of banned for viewing under 19 years old.
The film was originally shot with dual cameras. That is, the photographers Zhao Young-sik and Ki-duk Kim took the shots at the same time on different camera positions. The ratio is 7:3. That is, the part taken by Zhao Young-sik accounts for 70% of the film, and the part taken by Ki-duk Kim accounts for 30%. Who knows, in the end Ki-duk Kim's own part is getting more and more, obviously exceeding expectations.
It was hard to find a ticket for the first screening of "Pieta", and many European journalists returned in disappointment. The second screening was also overcrowded. This situation is very rare in Venice.

Pieta short comments

This time, Kim Ki-duk finally digs out the cruel side of human nature thoroughly. The darkness of this world is beyond our imagination. The Golden Lion deserves the best picture. It is heavy to watch.

Kim Kidd also began to talk about "female salvation"? The apocalyptic tone, the story of the annihilation and recovery of humanity that has circled around a large circle, is a bit pretending to be said, and it seems reluctant when the plot turns in the middle. However, it is a good thing to see Kim Kidd coming back. In fact, 90% of the film is about Kim Kidd asking, "Guess I have changed?", the final ending tells the audience "Haha, I haven't changed"... three and a half years.
