Crocodile remains a shocking depiction of day-to-day struggles in a dog-eat-dog world. It also comes with one of those hauntingly beautiful endings for which Kim has since become rightly famous. Go to Full Review

Raw in every sense of the word, Crocodile is another fine exponent of Korean cinema. Go to Full Review

That it tells a harsh story with such imaginative film techniques and striking symbolism makes Crocodile an interesting, engaging, and ultimately very human film. Go to Full Review
Alistair Harkness Scotsman 06/28/2019
that film's preoccupation with suicide and the need to find light even in the darkest realms of human existence demonstrates that these have been issues with which Kim has long grappled. Go to Full Review

Kim Ki-duk directs another violent, but meaningful film, as he focuses on his characters and particularly Crocodile, who symbolizes the hopelessness of the world, since, despite all his efforts, he cannot surpass his own nature Go to Full Review

05/31/2012 This debut of Kim boasts with his signal items and themes, and once again I'm a bit touched by his sense of returing in the end. From sex to love, relationships between men andwomen are subtle See more 03/01/2011 Schwaches frühes Werk von Kim Ki-Duk See more 06/27/2009 Whoa. Seriously good flick we got here. Kinda confusing because I saw it with subs that were a couple seconds too fast, but still a really good flick with strong scenes and a very good cast. Kim Ki-Duk's first film, and out of Bad Boy and The Isle, the other two I've seen, this is my fav so far. See more 03/01/2009 Considering it's first Kim Ki Duk's film it gave me a lot more then what I expected. Of course, it's a lot different from his later work (that I watched so far), but I'm only starting to discover early works of Kim Ki Duk. People on the boarder of society, outsiders actually and the raw, uncovered poetics already in his first film announce Kim Ki Duk's later work. The end is absolutely breath taking. See more 02/03/2009 E' il primo film di Kim Ki-duk. Se non conoscessimo tutti gli altri diremmo che è un film bellissimo e crudele, con tratti di quella genialità visiva che caratterizzano il cinema del regista coreano. Arrivati a vederlo dopo il resto della straordinaria filmografia di Kim Ki-duk, potrebbe sembrarci un po' acerbo e lineare, ma è comunque sempre grande cinema, in grado di raccontarci una improbabile storia d'amore che comincia e finisce sott'acqua, con una di quelle invenzioni mostrative metafisiche che ci hanno fatto amare il cinema di questo regista. Come sempre un intrigante mix di violenza e tenerezza che ti tiene inchiodato allo schermo. Voti alti comunque See more 01/27/2009 ......kotu bir ilk film.... See more Read all reviews
