Human space time and human review

A group of very different people set sail on an old warship. The passengers include a senator with his son, a newly-wed couple, a mysterious old man, a group of sex workers and a gang of violent criminals. At first the aggressive behaviour of the thugs and their leader is directed at the first class passengers, but then more and more indiscriminately against the rest of those on board. Rape is followed by murder and it’s not long before the first of numerous and increasingly brutal mutinies takes place.

• The final film from Kim Ki-duk (of what’s currently available anywhere) will be called “misanthropic,” “misogynistic,” “exploitative” and “crudely sensational.” People will have their arguments to justify these buzz words, just like they’ve indicted every other film in his filmography. The purpose of my KKD marathon hasn’t been to downplay these reactions, or call them out as wrong, but to challenge misunderstandings around Kim’s cinema in general. For those of you who’ve actually been following along, I hope I’ve pulled back the veil a little on this deeply troubled, deeply opaque filmmaker. I’ve wanted you to see Kim’s cinema first and foremost as necessarily brutal, what I’ve referred to as “proletariat horror.” It’s a helpful descriptor I think, a phrase…
• 16/100 Revisiting 3-iron for an A.V. Club piece reminded me that I'd seen only one (The Net) of Kim's six most recent features. "Let's see whether he's been doing interesting work that's being ignored because he's been cancelled," I thought, striving to maintain the art/artist divide. Serves me right, I guess. This is just flat-out noxious—ostensibly a Snowpiercer-style class allegory (set on what eventually becomes a supernatural floating ship rather than a futuristic train), but really just a threadbare excuse to depict endless monotonous barbarism, claiming that as an inescapable human condition. (How this nihilistic philosophy might serve Kim's personal interests at present is left as an exercise for the reader.) Initial half hour amounts to Gang Rape: The Movie,…
• There are more planes in the ocean than rapist cannibals in the sky.
• *Deutsche Version unten* This was a complete abomination, an insult to humanity. That this was Kim Ki-duk‘s intention doesn’t make it less shitty. That the acting was average and the look super cheap is just the tip of the iceberg. I always hate it when a filmmaker tries to educate me but this „lesson“ from someone who is not as smart as me and just sick was a bad joke. The only message you can take away here is that Ki-duk has serious mental problems regarding sex, eating and god. In the best case this film is a cry for help. ————— Das war eine Absolute Unverschämtkeit und eine Beleidigung der Menschlichkeit. Das dies Kim Ki-duks Absicht war, macht den…
• Not to be confused with Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter… and Spring, Kim Ki-duk’s deplorable allegorical thriller mixes up ‘stance against misogyny’ with ‘just blatant misogyny’. Taking place on a cruise that one night magically rises above the clouds, Human, Space, Time and Human is a story split into four chapters that already feels ragged by the end of its first – at this point, almost every female cast member has been raped and humiliated. What stands as an interesting concept morphs into High-Rise on a ship, as its crew resort to cannibalism, bloodshed and grenades, while the food supply counts down like a doomsday clock. Populated by gratuitous, insipid caricatures, everyone is either too vile, too enigmatic or too hapless…
• This was the most depressing view on humanity I have ever seen and I guess that was the point. Horrifically bleak, sadistic, badly acted and plastered with cheap visuals. Exactly how many rapes do you need to stuff into your film to be 'edgy' and 'provocative'? Kim Ki-duk answers with five rapes in 15 minutes including a gang rape and rape of an unconscious woman. It worked! I'm provoked. But in no way provoked to actually reflect on the human condition, so what's the effing point?
• Te has sobrado, hermano. Pecaste de exceso. En todo.

Cualquiera que haya visto una película de Kim Ki-duk sabe a lo que se enfrenta, pero sin duda ésta película es uno de lo saltos al vacío más demenciales que le recuerdo al director coreano. Una parábola socio-politica de lo más obvia que es más incómoda que estimulante gracias a sus ganas de siempre escandalizar a las masas con sus ya no gotas, sino derrames de misoginia.
