Beyond the urban legend of what happened when The Lumière brothers' showed ''The Arrival of a Train'', the idea of cinema at the time was not that of the artistic pretensions that some directors have claimed for this form of art. That was its evolution, and this project reminded me of the simplicity of what it is to film an event and explore it in all its visual splendor.

It can be said that Park Chan-wook is a director who seems to overcomplicate certain matters, but I think his desire to be intricate is much more than a pretentious element on his part, but rather what motivates him as a filmmaker.
Now, to make the follow-up of a film like The Handmaiden was going to be a tough job, even for him, surpassing himself was more than just a challenge.
For my part I don't think he succeeded,…

The guy who near the end admits that he knows about 6 women who were abused but cries out of sadness and anger that they made it public, which affected the fucking Bikram, makes it clear why men like this exist and get away with the things they do.
The charlatans are one thing, but their enablers.... Jesus.
I'll say this documentary isn't telling something new but it was interesting enough and it's relevance is undeniable.
