Great documentary!
I'm one of those people that has to be interested in the subject matter in order to watch a documentary. You can tell me the best things in the world about a docu, but if it's not something that I'm interested in I don't care. So most docus I love are about films or filmmaking
Kim Ki-Duk is one of my favorite directors of all time. A true auteur and a human being, it seems, I have a lot in common with. While watching his films I'm glued to the screen, I can't move I can only watch. Here he explains that maybe that's because they're so "raw" and he tries to make them as realistic as possible, I can see that, but they're also very sensitive (like him, hey he is an artist after all). They're about loneliness, and here you can see just how lonely he is. It takes a lot of courage to show yourself like that, how you truly are. He goes there. Very admirable and it only increases your appreciation for his films if you're already a fan.
In all of his films he does exactly what I want him to do. When I watch movies I sometimes think "it would be so cool if this would happen" and then of course I know it doesn't. With Kim Ki-Duk films it always happens. He always delivers and this film is no different. You get a better understanding of the man. You see just how smart he is, his sense of humor, his convictions (that are reflected in his movies), but above all you see his humanity!
I love you Kim Ki-Duk.
