My thoughts on Lee Chang-dong’s Burning (버닝; Beoning) has been sitting in my drafts for a minute now. A recent realization that it is now available in digital format inspired me to get on with it and complete the thoughts I jotted down a few months ago.
Keep the Recs Coming!
For the past month, I have been working feverishly at my 9 to 5 but am able to have a “movie break” from time to time. As per the multiple suggestions offered by readers in my post from last month, I have amassed a collection of three titles from my local library which I plan to watch and post my reactions to this weekend. The suggestions provided by the audience have just at their mention broadened my cinematic horizons (I would have never thought previously of watching a Danish or Serbian film – was not even sure that there was a Serbian film industry).
But I am having so much fun with this exercise, that I want my readers to keep the hits coming. I am open to any and all suggestions!
