Category: Non-EnglishI had this film for quite sometime before I finally got myself to have a look at it! The movie follows a mysterious visitor who puts take away menus on peoples doors, when he finds out they aren't removed he moves in for a while. Never stealing but actually just staying there.
One day he does the same thing to a lady who has a very abusive relationship with her husband, she tags along with him after a brief incident with the husband. They set out doing the same thing and eventually forming a bond - without the utterance of a single word.
Things do however go haywire and their perfect life is ruined after their caught and the lady is sent back to her husband. The last 15 minutes of the film are completely bizarre and while they try to make a last minute stake at 'defining reality' the film doesn't really match up to the tall claims its sets out.
I thought the film would be similar to Visitor Q by Takashi Miike, but the film has a completely different tone and we get to see a really mellow Kim Ki-duk here. Obviously riding the mental high from Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall ... and Spring. It's unique.
Recommendation level: 3/5 - It's good but nothing brilliant.
