What a crazy fucked up bad ass movie.
Asian absurdity, morbidity, and deadpan minimalism come together to form an extremely dark and original vision. Asian movies don't seem to work too well when they're remade in western markets because their flow comes from what is left out and not said rather than what is stated directly. This movie takes that to an extreme where the two main characters don't talk at all and we have to play detectives to figure out the plot for ourselves. Anyone that talks at all in this movie comes off as a dork that states the obvious, catering to the Asian aesthetic of cool that is a great contribution to international arthouse cinema.
