Documentary on director Kim Ki-Duk looking back at his film career.
Leave your thoughts about Arirang.
| HanCinemaPanos KotzathanasisSomewhat interesting, but as most films that are actually self-portraits, it is mostly addressed to the director's fans. The experimental nature of it also moves towards that direction. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawIt is the most extravagantly self-indulgent piece of pure loopiness imaginable - but gripping as well. A piece of experimentalism at odds with convention. |
| Eye for FilmAnton BitelPerhaps Arirang works best as testimony to how far up the mountain Kim Ki-duk has yet to travel before regaining his former peaks - at least, though, he has finally resumed the ascent. |
| Time OutDave CalhounA cri de coeur, constructed as a fly-on-the-wall doc. |
| Total FilmJamie RussellIt's a confessional portrait of the artist as a nutty middle-aged man and a rare insight into a controversial director who's as divisive as the 38th Parallel. |
| What CultureShaun MunroThere are intelligent and provocative ideas within Kim Ki-duk's unbearably self-serving docudrama, but the auteur should stick to what he knows best. |
| Little White LiesDavid JenkinsVaguely interesting, but mostly painful and confusing. |
| Honolulu Star-AdvertiserBurl BurlingameArirang is insufferable, and it's approaching torture to sit through it. Although we do wish Ki-Duk would climb out of his hole and get on with his life. |
| ViewLondonJennifer TateKim Ki-duk's self-made documentary about his three year, guilt induced solitude is incredibly self-absorbed, making it a suffocating and arduous watch. |
| User Reviewözkan TTo understand the purpose of the movie arirang, you'll have to get to know Kim ki duk, what his works aims at, why in spite of being a world renowned, prolific , consistent and aruably, one of the greatest filmmakers of the generation, he spent 3 years in some wooden shack in the bitter cold and isolation of korean wilderness, far from humanity. And you'll have to know what the song Arirang signifies to Koreans. Kim ki duk says in the movie, arirang is a song which Koreans sings in the moments which overwhelms them by feelings of isolation, melancholia and hopelessness. Something which calms them down and reassures them. Making this movie has done exactly the same to kim ki duk. I wont write up the translation of the song here as it is pointless , but listening to kim ki duk sing it in film ending mostly with him weeping hysterically, it is impossible not to feel what it signifies to him. |
