Audience Member Even though slow-paced, the tension in the main character's behavior and relationship to others makes you enjoy his journey. I loved how easily they connected the painter's biography with the historical events that shaped South Korea in the nineteen century. A great ending too! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review antti p Beautiful story about the not-so-beautiful life of a master artist. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Movies about painters are usually boring, (Andrei Rublev) but in this case Choi Min-sik is good enough to keep your attention. Its a biopic about a famous painter who grew up from a orphanage, who became so skilled that he painted for the king and people would view him as a celebrity. The movie is slow paced, but its worth it for the performance from Choi Min-sik. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Abrupt ending but fascinating all the same. Are all painters mad? Certainly worth a visit if art doesn't bore you. The story moves at a speedy pace.....a little too fast in years flying by sometimes, but interesting enough to amuse me. Great scenes. The picture quality (if you're buying the dvd) is varied.....sharp in places, a little more fuzzy in others. Not bad for 2002 release but don't expect perfection.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Un biopic sur un peintre corà (C)en avec Choi Min-Sik dans le rôle principal, je peux là (C)gitimement me demander si ce film nâ??a pas à (C)tà (C) secrètement fait pour moi. Hà (C)las nous sommes dans bizarro-land. Ca fait quelque temps que quand un film à lâ??air pourri en fait il est bien, et quand il a lâ??air top il me dà (C)çoit. Lâ??à (C)norme dà (C)faut dâ??Ivre de Femmes et de Peinture est sa construction, on dirait que le scà (C)nar nâ??est en fait quâ??une liste dâ??à (C)vènements et dâ??anecdotes jugà (C)es marquants quâ??il faut absolument prà (C)senter les uns après les autres.

Dâ??un point de vue pà (C)dagogique le film nâ??y gagne rien, trop dâ??informations survolà (C)es tuent lâ??info et on perd en quelque sorte une grosse moitià (C) du film jusquâ??à ce que le rythme se pose enfin et que les situations aient le temps de se dà (C)rouler naturellement. Oui, il aurait fallu choisir de se concentrer sur des instants prà (C)cis reprà (C)sentatifs et non pas rà (C)aliser une notice biographique exhaustive.
