Unique dark thriller from Seoul.

Chang-dong extracts a sterling performance from Suk-Kyu and finds plenty of depth in the film's more contemplative moments, but the gangland segments never quite attain the same ring of truth.

Audience Reviews for Chorok mulkogi (Green Fish)

The director of the amazing Oasis first showed his remarkable talents with this brilliant piece of gangster cinema. Once again Chang-dong deals with a complex relationship which is anything but 2-D. His use of long takes are remarkable as he still moves the camera around fluently and gracefully giving these long takes more motion and pace than still shots. A few very clever techniques such as the use of mirrors, cancelling out the necessity for shot/reverse shot cutting really highlight the skills on display here. The acting is phenomenol and is never too in your face or too subtle. The original music is a wonderfully gentle piece and any film that uses a Tom Waits song to great effect is bound to get high marks by me.

This first film from Lee Chang-ding has some pretty good ideas though it's very academic filming. It's not a must see but it's definitely a good one.
