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.

"Burning" is a mysterious and haunting experience. You never know what's going to happen next. A film unlike any other you'll see this year. Great acting by the cast, especially from Steve Yeun. This film raises a lot of questions when the credits start rolling. A kind of film that should be dissected and always bring up discussion. Lee-Chang dong is an excellent storyteller as co-writer and director. An intriguing and psychological mystery with an unforgettable ending.

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.

Our life it's full of pantomimes, grasping for filling the void 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.

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.

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.
