223. The seashore village (1965)


Country: South Korea
Directed by Kim Soo-Yong

In beautiful black and white , with addictive landscapes of sea that awakes in you feelings of fear, awe but also of a lost paradise, Kim Soo-Yong makes a captivative film that is full of the power of the nature. A nature that is not only the sea and the wind but can be also the human desires and the woman's sexuality. The first half of the film is really amazingly powerful. The second loses a lot on intensity, get overdramatized, has many weeknesses but it ends nicely. Anyway, some scenes of the film are clearly scenes of a masterpiece
