Trailer for Kim Ki-Duk’s 비몽 (Sad Dream) is a Beauty

It’s a strange day all right. Enough for me to spill compliments on Kim Ki-Duk. Man….
His latest three ventures in the domestic market read like the cries of sorrow of someone who can’t communicate with his fellow Koreans: 2005’s 활 (The Bow) was released over 2 screens for a mere 1,487 admissions. 2006’s 시간 (Time) didn’t fare much better, with 12 screens and a total just over 30,000 tickets. Finally, his last work 숨 (Breath) barely passed the 3,000 tickets, thanks to a 15 screen release. His press screening interviews felt like a disgruntled boy speaking to his reluctant mother, in another tongue. And whenever he pops up on oversea interviewers’ radar, the hypocrisy meter was always touching the defcon 5. Yet, 2008’s Kim Ki-Duk’s seems like a changed man, somewhat. Maybe it’s because he’s been doing less talk and more work, particularly as producer of the interesting 아름답다 (Beautiful) and the quite promising 영화는 영화다 (Rough Cut), which just secured a pretty surprising 320 screen release. And then we come to his next project as director.
Pairing Lee Na-Young in what seems to be her first meaningful role in a long, long time—count me among those who were bored to tears by 우리들의 행복한 시간 (Maundy Thursday)‘s preachy “moral overload”—along with Odagiri Jo, which has quite a big cult following in Korea, 비몽 (Sad Dream) [this seems the consensus for the International title, as of now] might not only become the most successful Kim Ki-Duk film since 나쁜 남자 (Bad Guy), it actually looks pretty damn good. The interesting thing is that Odagiri and Lee, who don’t really meet much in the film, will speak each their own native language, which should make for some interesting moments. Anyhow. Release is set for October 9, and now all you need to do is go below the break, and start dreaming.
