Epitaph is recommended

Epitaph is wonderful.  South Korean film making has been *amazing* the last couple of years.  You can definitely see the influence of Kubrick in the slow pull-outs and floating camera work.  The story lines had me reeling sometimes because there is very little dialog, not a whole lot of clarification, and strange (arbitrary?) time shifts ... but overall I eventually figured out what was going on.  In spite of the twisty story, I really loved it.  The movie contained some of the creepiest movie imagery yet ... especially the scene with the mother sitting next to the bed of the little girl.  I seriously was FREAKED during that scene.  Even now it makes my skin crawl!  I love that!

I actually subscribed to netflix, so I'll put this one in my queue if they have it. Woo-hoo! Now I can actually act on your movie recommendations. Speaking of recommendations, did you see The Orphanage?

Do you see a lot of Korean cinema?? My husband was a Korean linguist for the army and is pretty into all things Korean. I think his recent favorites are The Vengeance Trilogy directed by Park Chan-wook. They can be a bit disturbing, but are very well done.

I will add these to our netflix. I am sure he will like them.
