3-Iron (빈집)

Now that I’m all hunkered down and waiting to leave to Korea with just my job and a lot of time, I think I’m going to be watching more movies!  I guess there’s a positive side to everything.

“3-Iron” is a wonderfully done movie with a main character who doesn’t say a word and a girl who only says one poignant phrase.  The director also did “Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter … and Spring”, which was also, if I remember correctly, a very silent film which uses mostly visual cues to tell the story.  The story follows a man who breaks into empty houses (the real title of the film being ‘empty house’) and instead of stealing things, cleans and fixes up the house and lives like he lived there cooking food, wearing their clothes, etc.  He runs into an abused wife who decides to follow him around, sparking a silent love story between the two. Like the empty houses he breaks into and fixes, he enters her life and fixes her.  It’s a lovely story and I highly recommend watching this movie.

  1. My favorite movie. Also like his other productions such Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter and Spring.

  2. ‘섬’ is probably my fave of his, but I like all of them.

  3. Me too I really like all of his movies. I watched recently Bad boy quite violant, with the same actor as in crocodile.

    All the kim ki du movie are very silent. It’s almost always the rule for the main caracter(s).

    You should try to get Time! which was I think really awsome
