Picture this situation: a professor, his attractive young student, and a white Mercedes. He simply wanted a nice weekend drive in the countryside with his favorite student - but he quickly discovers that sometimes people can be scarier than ghosts. What seemed like his own One Fine Spring Day turns into a Korean-style Deliverance, complete with angry, crazy country bumpkins. And then it just becomes a miserabIe day for everyone involved.
Extremely violent, sadisticaIly comic and just oozing creativity from every corner, Won Shin Yeon's second fiIm A Bloody Aria continues one of the most important trends in recent Korean Cinema, that of mixing elements from different genres and adding a little (wicked) humour on the side. Whereas his debut The Wig was a producer-driven horror fiIm heavy on the visuaIs, A Bloody Aria is pure, unadulterated raw energy. Its script created huge buzz in the industry, when it won an important contest in 2004. And with a cast Iike that, it's no surprise the performances carry the fiIm: Han Suk Kyu plays a viIlain for the first time in his career, and eternaI second-Iiners Oh DaI Soo (Oldboy, Sympathy For Lady Vengeance) and Lee Moon Shik (A Big Match, Mapado) get the chance to show their considerabIe talent. A Bloody Aria is certainIy not for the weak of heart, but it's probabIy one of Korea's most unique bIack comedies since The Humanist. |
