The Best of Cinema 2004

Brian Clark, The Daily Texan

1. 'Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter ... and Spring'
Using a floating Buddhist monastery as his backdrop, Korean Director Kim Ki-duk explores the cyclical progression of life with stunning beauty and eloquence.
The film begins with a young boy in custody of a Buddhist monk. For fun, he ties rocks to snakes, fish and frogs in the surrounding woods, an action which turns out to hold severe consequences. The film moves through the seasons, showing the boy at different ages as he progresses through lust, murder, redemption and eventually enlightenment. The concept sounds less than intriguing, but the impact of the stunning scenery and the tranquil tone with which Ki-duk handles the material is indescribable.
Ki-duk, who admitted in an interview that he made the film with no background study of Buddhism, relates the story with gentle humor and sparse dialogue. The effect is a film that speaks on a universal level, and uses minimalism to make a more lasting impression than all of the violent, glossy, melodramatic films that hit theaters this year.

3. 'Oldboy'
After taking home the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes, Korean director Chan-Wook Park's complex, violent revenge tale gained notoriety for one specific scene. Yet, the skill with which Park handles the rest of the film deserves far more attention.
The story follows Dae-su Oh, who embarks on a search for the perpetrator of his kidnapping, an explanation, and revenge after spending 15 years in solitary confinement. The film's plot and tone then shift as Park explores love, violence, childhood, and a plethora of other themes. In the hands of almost any director, a movie crammed so full of action, tone switches and themes would feel cluttered. But Park manages to harness his ideas, pair them with clever humor and brutal action and emerge with an exhilarating thriller unlike any other.
