118. Pieta (2012)


Country: South Korea
Directed by Kim Ki Duk

Pieta is a complex film that poses philosophical, freudian and social issues but the greatness about it is somehow mainly visual. Is one of the most powerful movies that came out the recent years: without even to know why, just you can't stop watching it until the end. Is just incredible how from so much darkness finally hope is born, how so much violence leads to compassion and to sensitivity, how we can see ourselves to a such repulsive (as the main one in the film is) character, how this film is so moving at the end. I totally agree with what Kim Ki Duk himself said: 'Pieta is an embrace to the whole of humanity. The movie is dedicated to humankind.'
