    A film full of symbols, straight to the point of tediousness. There may be some things that Kim Ki-duk himself didn't want to understand, or he wouldn't commit suicide.

    For a while, I was obsessed with Kim Ki-deok, so I found all his films and watched them. The overall style of this film is more gentle, just like that lake~
