Real Fiction

An unstable artist (Ju Jin-mo) is sent over the edge during a walk in the park when a woman with a video camera (Kim Jin-ah) begins following him. Flying into a murderous rage, the artist begins running loose through the city, leaving dead bodies in his wake, until he winds up back in the park where he began. Director Kim Hi-duk shot this feature in real time, during less than four hours in one afternoon, using an armada of 20 film and video cameras set up in different locations; significantly, the film ends with the film running out in the cameras set in the park. Kim Hi-duk then edited his footage down to a compact 86 minutes.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

  Pointless
  
  It had to happen. A Kim Ki-duk film that just does not impress me. His most experimental film to date, but a pointless exercise in violence and abuse. Filmed in... read more »

  Minor masterpiece
  
  I loved this film which admittedly lacks some of the finesse of the later works but makes up for this with its raw energy and powerful simple message.
