Alain E A very original and unusual movie about gender relationships and golf clubs. A young Korean drifter who rides an expensive BMW motorcycle breaks into empty houses, eats, sleeps and does the laundry and house maintenance. In a mansion that he thinks is empty, finds an abused housewife and they form a bond. Far from realistic, this is a unique love story. If you wonder about the relevance of the 3-iron, the hero likes to shoot golf balls for exercise but also as a form of weapon. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Joey c It is a very new and shocked way to express love, Kim Ki duk is a genius Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/25/23 Full Review Courtney K interesting. i actually really loved how dialog-less it was; i sort of wish there was none at all. it is a beautiful story & that last scene is really quite powerful, but i'm not sure i'd recommend it to anyone else. it's more like if you happen to stumble upon it & you're in the mood for an artsy almost-silent love story, then absolutely watch it. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/21/23 Full Review Audience Member so new story and Very new and fresh film..Dialogues are very few but this does not diminish the dynamism and charm of the story Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review William L Jae Hee plays as the golfing version of Hawkeye in an ethereal love story that develops the relationship between Lee Seung-yeon's Sun-hwa and Jae Hee's Tae-suk in complete defiance of social standards before taking their connection into something even further beyond - an unexplained transcendence when the rules of society prevent them from being together. They communicate almost wordlessly, seemingly drawn together by a shared disaffection with the world around them, compensating by entering other people's homes and taking care of small chores, like a pair of angels or fairytale spirits. They seemingly have found a way to exist above the brief, confusing, and pointless trappings of modern life as they touch on mortality, wealth, personal satisfaction, and romance in equal measure. It's original, entertaining, and oddly compelling. Always love a film that can combine a slow pace with a short runtime, as long as the plot doesn't suffer. Why the 3-Iron specifically? I'm sure there is some thematic justification that you could craft regarding how that club delivers the straightest, most direct shot, but I think in reality Kim Ki-duk just wanted a way to make a shot through a car windshield seem as realistic as possible. Can't pull that off with a sand wedge. (4/5) Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/28/22 Full Review william d The movie starts out strong and amusing, but ultimately devolves into the strange and the weird. Can't quite recommend.
