Country: South Korea
Directed by Kim Soo-Yong
'Mist' in an unknown to most masterpiece, as unknown is a genius director as Kim Soo-Yong who directed more than 100 films that almost nobody outside of Korea watched. This is the fate for people and movies of national cinemas that , if not happen to be awarded in some important international festival, often remain , more or less, in shadow. The film is really an impressive achievement : is addictive visually , minimal about the means that it uses ,is very personal but at the same time is like a mirror that reflects part of the self of anyone that will watch it. Having a form that incorporates smoothly the entire modern Western cinema , experiments with sound and editing, uses ambiguous characters, time reversion, dialogues that came out of the literature and dramatic monologues it creates a lot of feelings that is difficult to be described: the small provincial city covered with fog , that the movie characters try to escape from, it becomes an archetype for the most hateful but innocent part of our youth that we always carry painfully with us, as reminder of our dreams that we never been able to fulfill. because ,even if we succeed in what we wished for, it turns out different from what once we imagined
