"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.

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.

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.

This films makes me really happy about not being too smart. I totally felt for the trick of the movie only to realize a couple of days later how wrong I was about it and starting reliving the movie in my head and noticing how all the details work both as clues and as distractions. If I was smarter I would probably had noticed before and all that magic would have been lost.

Contemplative and quiet, absolutely, but it is the subtle sense of dread that stands out in this beautifully shot character study. There are a few breathtaking images that will stick with me as will Yoo Ah-in’s scarily nuances performance.

Drags a bit at times, which hampers the atmosphere, but plenty of great natural light cinematography - and the sunset dance must be one of the greatest pieces of cinema in recent years.
