Lee Chang-dong's "Burning" will leave you breathless.
The film paints vivid portraits of three distinct characters and inspires sympathy with a bewildered protagonist; moreover, it depicts a particular social milieu in such a way that one comes to see it as existing beyond the subjects' control.
A languorous, catlike psychological puzzle from one of the essential international masters, Lee Chang-dong...
This absorbing, if fitfully frustrating, portrait of love, obsession and jealousy is rarely less than fascinating. It's also a fine showcase for Steven Yeun ("The Walking Dead"), who proves he's much more than a Happy Meal for zombies.
The kind of movie whose takeaways you could spend hours debating and still feel miles away from being sure of anything at all.
A beautifully cryptic slow burner that lingers long in the senses.
In a toxic new world, the only survivors are those with pacts with the devil.
Wave your lighters in the air. This bleak movie is one of the year's best.
It is interesting and it looks good but it is not involving enough to sustain its 148-minute run time and despite its unusual storytelling the ending proved strangely predictable.
There is perhaps a tiny bit of pretentiousness in Lee's approach, but he knows how to fascinate viewers with resonant, tantalising scenes.
[Burning] could last eight hours and it would still be compelling, a dark, devastating mystery that offers up so many subtle clues that it's hard not to turn to your neighbour and start whispering theories.
If alienation and cruelty among South Korea's millennials are conditions of sociopolitical malaise on the East Asian peninsula, then Burning is a stunningly acted and directed expression of it.
