Last year's absolute cult hit in Korea doesn't hide its Tarantino, Jackie
Chan, and John Woo inspirations. Ryoo Seung-Wan's extraordinary feature
debut incorporates two of his earlier shorts, plus two new episodes, for
a remarkably cohesive, four-part movie looking at the same character from
different angles. Switching from action to horror, mockumentary, and gangster
genres with a master's touch, the director engages in both the ethos of
fighting and the wasted lives of its marginal characters. 2000, South Korea,
in Korean with English subtitles, 35mm, color and BW, 95 minutes. Note:
Contains violence.
