24 hours after rating this, my rating has increased. I went to bed thinking about it and woke up thinking about it. The questions this film raises about judgements and actions made on evidence, beliefs and feelings will be rolling around in my mind for a long time yet.

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.

"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.
