DVD Reviews of 3-Iron

DVD Review: Another Nicely Done Love Story
Summary: 5 Stars

what I like about Korean movies is that they often seem so weird in the beginning and even the middle, and then unfold into incredible sweetness and love. Thus one is no exception.

DVD Review: Engrossing and absorbing
Summary: 5 Stars

Adventures in reality with sidetrips into the nature of good & evil, perception, and chance.

DVD Review: Always Pick Up Your Pizza Flier
Summary: 4 Stars

By day Tae-Suk delivers pizza fliers. By night (or the next day) he returns to his route and enters houses or apartments where a flier remains uncollected. He does so with no harmful intent; he just needs a place to stay and bathe. He picks up after himself, does laundry and subtly alters appliances to leave a calling card to an alert owner. But one house, we discover before him, is not unoccupied and a battered wife follows him, equally silent, around her home, including as he practices with her husband's 3 Iron. When husband comes home and continues his abuse, she abandons him for Tae-Suk, who wordlessly knew she would. Their silent bliss cannot last, but it may be renewed, thanks to the shadowless skills Tae-Suk teaches himself in prison.

3 Iron has some golf ball assaults that are painful to watch, along with one of the recent screen's more erotic kisses. In the theater a couple weeks ago, it played longer than 88 minutes, but its spell has grown on me. Call it a very curious film, minimally plotted, single-minded and resolutely low-key, but for you too it may pack a lingering wallop.

DVD Review: The magic of a silent love!
Summary: 5 Stars

Tae- Suk is a young man who turns around the city searching for homes to settle temporarily in absence of his owners. But one day, he will meet to Sun- Hwa, a young wife, who practically lives trapped by his possessive and jealous husband. She is intrigued by Suk and leaves her home following him. So day after day in that almost wanderer life from home to home, the lucky is over and they are discovered. He is sent to prison (although the investigations confirm they have not stolen anything).

Suk is sent to prison and she must return with her husband. But then, in prison something happens when the desire for freedom will lead to an enraptured poetic crossroad.

With this work Kim Ki Duk was awarded as best Director in Venice (Silver lion) and Best film in Venice 2004.

Description of 3-Iron

Words really do get in the way in 3-Iron, a strange, poignant South Korean film from director Kim Ki-Duk (Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring) in which the central character doesn't utter a single word. It's not explained why the puck never speaks, but it adds an element of mysticism to this love story that's at once humorous and disturbing. In this case, the knight in shining armor, Tae-Suk (Hee Jae) is a vagabond who supports himself by breaking into people's homes when they're on vacation. But rather than steal possessions, he cooks himself a meal, carefully washes the dishes, takes a bath, does their laundry, fixes anything broken, sleeps in their pajamas, and leaves each home spic and span. One day he trespasses on the home of a battered wife (Seung-yon Lee) who's still home. Fascinated, she leaves her husband and joins in his adventures, until one of their random break-ins gets them in trouble and the couple is forced apart.

Adding in a reliance on some stunning visuals, 3-Iron does a good job filling itself out in a non-implicit way. In this case, compliments and banter aren't needed to tell you that the pair has found a bond that no one can wrest away from them. The ending may tickle suspended reality (it's either becoming supernatural or someone's a lot more nimble than we thought), but it's still a poetic conclusion to this twisted fairy tale. --Ellen A.
