134. Village of haze (1982)


Country: South Korea
Directed by Im Kwon-Taek

A great film about 'the lies and secrets' that always are essential part of closed societies in order to keep their proper function and especially about the oppressed female sexuallity that ,although is considered as taboo in such communities, often finds the way to be fulfilled. The films shows that  morality , ethics and social rules are sets of values too weak to face the basic human instincts . 'Village of haze' is not a feminist film calling for women liberation neither a film that condemns ironically the social hypocrisy. Is just a bold exposure of the human sexual need that for centuries humanity tried unsuccessfully to deny but finally couldn't avoid to accept it even if had to 'cover it with haze' and incorporate the satisfaction of sexual hunger in a new set of social rules
