Two teenage girls, Yeo-jin and Jae-yeong, decide to fund their escape to Europe through prostitution, with the former conducting the business and the latter "entertaining" the clientele. But when Jae-yeong suffers the consequences of their actions, Yeo-jin embarks on a quest to redeem herself by tracking down their former clients one by one to replicate the earlier transactions. But when her father discovers what Yeo-jin has been doing, he snaps and decides to avenge his daughter's innocence. Director Ki-Duk was awarded the Best Director prize at the 2004 Berlin Film Festival. [More]

Samaritan Girl demeure l'un des films les plus accessibles de la filmographie de Kim Ki-duk grâce à sa mise en scène volontairement simplifiée qui fonctionne à merveille.

[A]rcane and provocative film... cements [Ki-duk Kim’s] reputation as one of the most astonishing artists working in cinema today...

The preceding parts are so literal minded, as both puritanical and pornographic illustrations of an obnoxious male fantasy, that they strike me as alternately absurd and hypocritical.

It's hard to say what Kim is driving at here.

An under-thought formula linking sex, youth, and violence.

A wholly unique tale that gives expressive voice to the pains of childhood and the parents forced to bear witness.
