Running at 175 minutes and filled with minimalism and implementing a very slow pace, this is a very difficult film to watch. However, if one can get past these notions, he will discover a true masterpiece, that signaled the progress of Korean cinema

I occasionally found myself lost in thought and found the film an overall worthwhile experience.

a difficult movie of unorthodox pacing and presentation

... amazingly beautiful, as every frame puts you in mind of a painting by Rousseau or Joseph Turner.
