It is a performances centric movie

A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Tae-suk tapes fake fliers inside apartment buildings and along city blocks. Several hours pass and the house or apartment that leaves the flier untouched, he breaks into them. One day by accident, he breaks into a house with a battered wife, Sun-hwa, inside. Basically, a romance ensues between these two quiet soulmates.Melancholy and disturbing, this film transcends into a simple, dream-like romance full of atmosphere and beauty. It's difficult to explain why this film is beautiful; for me, the characters transcend their despair and find an improbable solution to loving each other. Minimalistic and mysterious, the director Kim Ki-Duk creates a film that leaves profound questions up to the viewer.Mostly, this film uses minimal dialogue which feels slightly stilted and gimmicky. Although the lack of dialogue is a gimmick, "3-Iron" is a profoundly rewarding experience.

3-Iron (빈집, Bin-jip, meaning Empty House) is a 2004 Korean film directed by Kim Ki-duk, a South Korean filmmaker noted for his idiosyncratic "art-house" cinematic works. The plot revolves around the relationship between a young drifter and an abused housewife. The film is notable for the lack of dialogue between its two main characters. Film review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reported that 86% of reviewers (75 out of 87) gave the film positive ratings with an average score of 7.4. The film grossed $241,914 in North America and $2,965,315 worldwide. A haunting love tale full of poeticism and beauty. A film that transcends fantasy and reality, instead offering an uncanny blur between the two. 3-Iron is a film dripping with love, longing and anguish. A fantastic romantic fable from Kim Ki-Duk.

rarely does a romantic movie leave you with a hollow feeling in the pit of your stomach. this other worldly experience directed by Ki-duk Kim is "shockingly brilliant". the story is original and frugal with no words exchanged between the leads. the intensity of love,longing is conveyed merely by slight movements.the actors are stunning in their parts. the soundtrack is haunting and the ending memorable. Would be comparing movies i watch for some time with this. made my day. 4 out of 5 for this mesmerizer from the director of the epic spring,summer...spring. a very special movie which should be watched with your special one.

The main concept of this movie is already a pretty weird and original one to begin with. It's not the sort of stuff you would normally come up with, when trying to write and create a movie. The main concept itself doesn't sound all that compelling but it's more the execution and the originality of it all that makes this a great watch.So here is the concept; A young man travels from house to house and stays at people's homes while they are away on vacation or out of town for a couple of days. While he is at their homes he cleans and fixes stuff, takes some pictures and then gets out again, when the residents return. Who comes up with this sort of stuff? Ki-duk Kim does apparently!But it's being all strangely compelling and entertaining. It's pretty simplistic and small with all of the stuff it does but this actually makes the movie kind of a sweet movie to watch.Especially when the unusual love story kicks in, between the main character and an abused wife. What is all the more special and unusual about it is that not one of them says a single word during this entire movie. Other characters speak but never its two main characters, which fortunately does not become just a gimmick for the movie but actually adds to its story and overall way of storytelling.It's an unusual movie but never a pretentious or over artistic one. It's a perfectly accessible movie to watch, for just about everybody. Granted that its second half is not really up to par with its first and things can get a bit too odd at times but overall this doesn't take anything away from the overall movie experience, which was something entertaining and refreshing.The movie is not a comedy but it still has some strangely comical moments in it, which mostly comes from the movie its absurdity. This is something that works really pleasant for the movie and makes this a rather nice and easy watch.Especially for the lovers of Asian cinema, this is an absolute must-see!8/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
