Pak is rightfully called Korean Hitchcock: he manages to keep the viewer in tension almost to the final credits. True, Hitchcock here is a kind – enriched and transformed by oriental aesthetics.
1. East – West. Pack, One of the brightest cinema authors today would not be seduced by another proposal even from Hollywood itself. He mixed the American thriller with eastern meditation. And he told the criminal-graceful history of the language of chiaroscuro, plastic silence, mysterious underhearse of medieval monogatari (genre of Japanese prose). The plot is not only criminally expressed in relation to the viewer, but also meaningless. The picture about the young American India, her exalted suddenly widowed mother and young uncle
, the very charm, which appeared in the orphaned house of Stoker suddenly and from nowhere, is not exhausted by the plot itself. Because he is impossible here without the imagination of the viewer, who sometimes seems that he seems to plunge into the world of fantasies of the heroine. And images woven from the game of flowers and darkness, small details, unexpected installation transitions. When the hair of the mother, which is combed by India, when closely examining the camera, suddenly begins to sprinkle, like a faded grass of the end of summer from the memories of a crime that the once small committed … no, you can’t even hint.
2. Saspens. Pak is not in vain called Korean Hitchcock – perhaps no one in modern cinema manages to keep the viewer in tension for so long and leave him in the feeling of inappropriation of the main secret, when, it would seem, all the slopes were found.
3. Golden Glass. Music for the film was created by two composers. One of them is Philip Glass, who composed three unforgettable piano plays. And such a dramatic melody, as in an episode, when India plays four hands with a young uncle, in modern music and is generally a rarity. And this episode itself, according to the degree of emotionality, is unlikely to have equal.
