At first glance this appears to be a beautifully shot love triangle drama, until slowly but surely the underlying tensions of class struggle, social alienation and male entitlement reach a breaking point. Really manages to capture the mood of Murakami's writing.

This movie's unplaceable atmospheric tension haunts the mind. Because its meaning is so expansive, it feels elusive, but it aims at all the unspoken animosity between the dichotomous classes of modern society as it slowly becomes untethered from civility, rooted in the unique isolation born of today's world. It's so perfectly paced and watchable that it sneaks all this in under your nose, so all you're left with in the aftermath is that feeling of a passionate longing that suddenly empties out.

The beginning seems promising for naught. Around the halfway mark, over an hour into the film, the actress shows off a truly perfect set of tits; that's the best thing I can say about this. At about 1:30, when most movies end, the plot of "Burning" finally gets going (it decides to be a mystery). Even then it kind of plods. The snide "Ben" is a single brush-stroke, and Jonh-Soo and Hae-Mi are even less than that. Like in "Poetry", there are many attempts at profundity, which fall flat.

Technically pretty marvelous: the camera work is very deliberate and creates a great mood, the bass-heavy score is tremendous, the acting is really good and it covers some social issues well. It's an incredibly slow-burn and I'm conflicted: at times there's a reward to the pacing but then it also manages to drag on occasion, simultaneously revealing its secrets too slightly and just right. It's still a great movie, though I wish I could find the same passion for it that others clearly have.

4 September 2018 & An accurate Murakami adaptation: You can't decide whether it's too deep or too superficial, just like books/stories of him. The best part of the film is the first half hour. Then the mystery its created, the paranoia of the character and the place where the director put the audience is definitely not for me.

"Burning" is just another installment of a trend of arthouse movies showcasing extreme directorial prowess with a flaccid plot, unnatural dialog, and caricatures rather than characters. While I'll admit freely that the final scene was breathtaking, there was no resolution and Jong-soo was an awkward chore to watch for the majority.

Enigmatic drama is shot and constructed in such a precise and exacting way that it almost feels suffocating at times; elegant and intriguing but with a coldness and emptiness at its core, this certainly remains watchable for its entire duration, but it's never particularly involving, especially in its sometimes on-the-nose metaphors. However, there is definitely something here and the performers are all terrific, with Yeun particularly impressive as the sinister Ben.

Beginning at the rural sunset scene, the film is masterfully, quietly suspenseful, and every moment is compelling, but there is too much prior to it to allow the film as a whole to be great. The first act is so slow it can hardly be said to build towards the rest, and the masturbatory and sexual angle meant to reveal intimacy (?) between protagonists does anything but, which makes our lead creepy until a creepier man comes along. But from the sunset, the film is unquestionably gripping.

The parallels drawn with the art of pantomime are interesting as the movie seems to draw its strengths from both its mood and that which remains unseen. Both as a character study and a mystery, I remained endlessly fascinated by some of its observations and a plot that peels away its layers ever so slightly. Subsequent viewings are bound to be equally compelling, despite its slow pacing.

Such a slow burning that it takes not only the finale but the sad lead-up to it to reveal a complexity made of status resentment, the extremes of infatuation, and different modes of numbness towards life. I could see this simple story working as a 90s thriller starring Richard Gere mirroring some awkward fool in the lead role, yet Lee's cool ambiguity gives it more class and resonance, if not necessarily punch.

At some point Hae-mi describes pantomime as not trying to imagine the object is there, but to forget the object is not there. Which seems perfectly emblematic for the film. In mysterious hiatuses we recognize the familiar strokes of Murakami (who wrote the short story) and Burning catches his unique literary flavor well - or, at least, how i liked to imagine it when i was big into his books. It’s a little gem that absolutely deserves a rewatch in the future. South Korea looks so good on film!

Watched the first hour after three attempts, but the last 90 minutes were burning faster. Was expecting more jazz since Haruki is a fan (check out the Spotify playlist with his favorites), and less self pity. Still think Murakami is unfilmable and half of each of his novels should be trimmed.

a post-antonioni neo-noir, but tethered to the perspective of a rural neet and would-be novelist (this seems largely a story of his own invention) simmering with class resentment. the screenplay is a mixed bag of clever callbacks/foreshadows and more obvious signifiers, implausible contrivances and genre conventions. the threat, confusion, isolation and bitterness amassed during the slow sink into these deep blues and oranges really linger, though, like "a bass that resonates to the bones".

While Burning looks amazing and is atmospheric af, I had a very personal issue with it. Jong-soo and Hae-mi were such classic Murakami characters that it took me out of the experience completely. The passive writer dude and the assertive, mysterious manic pixie dream girl/woman who seduces him gave me the hives in the theater. But you know what? Steven Yeun (of The Walking Dead) was amaaaze in this. Really loved his performance.

Fantastic. Lee is doing a great deal here in his filmmaking to highlight the (potential?) subjectivity of the narrative. Told from a writer's perspective, the film strikes me as being very much about the possibility of truly knowing others, and the mysteries that result from our isolation. Of course, there's also much here about class difference and how women function in society as well. Wonderfully complex film from one of my favorite filmmakers working today.

Quite the slow burn (hurr) and everything is wildly contextualised by the stunning denouement. People may complain about an overuse of ambiguity, as is here, but it works in exploring the finer details of the hero-villain dichotomy, which is done through terrific performances and awesomely understated and perfectly effective directing -- it's intense like it doesn't even know it.

Yet another film making masterclass from Lee Chang-dong - a director with an exquisite eye for composition, and an ear for poetic yet natural dialogue that brings the best out of his performers. Lee's blend of obliqueness and directness works seamlessly here in a murder mystery where we're never entirely sure there's even been a murder, and the two halves of South Korean society are brilliantly essayed through the protagonists. The music is very effective too.

The slow-burner of the year. Shot by shot the film that best uses perspective in favor of storytelling - Lee's framing is always so precise. The plot is kind of divided into a social chronicle about youth in South Korea - the "Gatsbys" and the unemployed, struggling ones (lead is an aspiring writer yet to finish his first novel). Once the girl disappears and the film enters the thriller mode, it manages to remain enigmatic - the murder is almost a love scene; bass-oriented score is marvelous.

With calming visuals of the South Korean countryside, the movie starts of as a quiet drama about a guy falling for an old class mate of his, but then takes a gripping dive into paranoia and mystery later in its two hour run time. Steven Yuen gives a great performance as the weird and eccentric Ben, a character who stays a complete mystery throughout the film.

Not a great story, but you can come for the rest. The beginning is humdrum, but something about it is very catchy. Other details, like the rhythm of the movie, and a growing intimacy (or 'aspectation' of the viewer) take over a larger portion of the viewing space than is usual, even in this post-miminalastic era we love in.

The critical flaw of films that rely so much on subtext to provide commentary on misogyny, sanism, and class is that that's all only apparent and makes sense if you already agree with the film. That is, you are anti-misogyny and anti-sanism. If you aren't, you're liable to simply agree with the characters who exhibit these things, and miss the critique altogether. So what's the point of these? And yet, is it possible to avoid falling in love with such deeply compelling commentaries?

This could have been a killer (no pun intended?) short film. Instead it's freaking 2.5 hours. Holy. It truly meanders with no sense of direction for the first two thirds. Shout out Steven Yuen and Murakami, but this film ain't it. It has some nice cinematography and decent enough acting, but drags on too much for my plebian tastes. Unless someone comes up to me and blows my mind about some huge hidden Fight Club type reveal I missed with this film, this was underwhelming but pretty. Barely ok

Initially I was severely disappointed. But then I found that I had the movie clanging around in my brain for a day afterward. I even went on Reddit to see some discussion. It's a quiet, confident, and artistic film. But it is also maddeningly slow and clunky at times. And nothing gets resolved, so the time investment feels like a waste, on the surface. But there is something more going on with this movie, even though I can't put my finger on it.

I had read the Murakami short story that the film is based on and they practically took 20-30 pages and built a 140mins film around it. The end result is good. While it extends the story and provides a lot of background, it still keeps the essence and mystery of the story and lefts many of the questions unanswered. Pacing could have been tighter, but it’s a common issue with South Korean cinema. The leads are great and so is the cinematography which displays a different side of South Korea.

This films deals with some deep themes, such as mortality, identity/belonging, jealousy and understanding. Its quite a thoughtful film but there isn't much in the way of a solid plot as such going on, so you may find it rather directionless. Its quite an arty sort of a film, very much about symbolism and with a sort of a philosophical angle to it. I would recommend this film to fans of world cinema, definitely.

A beautifully filmed set of vignettes that capture how the latest generation has been left behind by the scourge of capitalism better than any narratively plotted story could.

It's difficult to describe exactly what happens in this beautiful film adapted from a Haruki Murakami short story (which was in turn inspired by a William Faulkner story). The film takes a long time to really get going, but everything that happens in the first hour is ultimately important. The second half involves a mystery of sorts that is never really solved, but events resolve themselves in an emotionally satisfying manner.

Our life it's full of pantomimes, grasping for filling the lack of truth. Masturbation it's a pantomime of love; going out in the same pub with rich people it's a pantomime of equality; burning is a pantomime of killing. Only Ben fills that void, but through killing, thanatos winning over eros. Burning is a story of class gap and existential struggle that leads to a thriller. It catch the existential mistery of Murakami's work, begging to be analyzed in every frame, and it's worth it.

Amazing cinematography/sound design. The pace made me disconnect from the attempts at tone. Worth it for the aesthetic qualities alone. Solid performances as well. Yeah, enough can’t be said about the dance scene. A stunning work of art unto itself.

murakami'nin edebiyatta tekabül ettiği yerin sinemadaki karşılığı: burning. New age duyarlıklar şablonunu yüzünün tam ortasına yapıştırmış narsisistik bir çocuk-kadın, ona bir yaver ve bir yaver daha bulunarak senaryo yaratım süreci tamamlanıyor ve bu bulguların üstüne reklam estetiği bocalanarak günün son ışığında otlu gözler yaşartılıyor. Dekoratif bir unsur olarak Faulker'ı da arada harcıyorlar. benim annem bir balık. diyen çocuğa çok yazık.

the moment where the girl rejects the less fortunate and chooses the wealthy one is incredible; very well constructed narrative that goes through different moments with intensity; has some very tense moments; there are obvious possibilities of seeing this as a political/social work, and also the possibility of reading metaphoric suggestions, but, a most direct and simple understanding of the story makes it grown as a whole and on each of its narrative fragment.

2018 in en overrated filmi. Zengin - fakir ilişkisini en klişesini anlatan film, ilk başlarda ağır başlayan konunun harekete geçirmesine başlıyor. Fakir insanlar ölsün muhabbetine girmesi biraz içerlesem de günümüz dünyasına da ayna tutuyor. Farklı anlamlar çıkaracağımız bir film. Kadın - erkek ilişkilerine de iyi - kötü durumlarına sokuyor. Ağır başlayan tempo, hemen bitsin diye de sabırsızlanıyoruz. O Ben yok mu ben. Sen ne sinsiiiiii yıllllaaaanmışsın.

Burning’i 2018’in en iyi filmi olarak niteliyor olmam, hiç de abartılı bir yorum olmayacaktır. Öyküyü okumadığım için senaryo/öykü farklılaşmasının olup olmadığı konusunda bir fikir ortaya koyamıyorum fakat leziz bir senaryo var karşımızda. Bu lezizliği, metaforların yerli yerinde kullanılmış olması, sınıfsal çatışmanın kine dönüşmesinin doğru işlenmesi, görsel enstrümanların abartıya kaçmadan kullanılması sayesinde alıyor.

Best movie of 2018. Absolutely captivating and shot in a stylish, assured way. The movie is purposefully cryptic and practically begs you to analyze it, which you can either find frustrating or alluring. I obviously found it the latter. Steven Yeun gives one of the best performances of the year. Can't wait to see it again and analyze it further. [Second viewing made this even better and more rich. Deeply satisfying to analyze and think back on.]
