As I progress further and further through Kim Ki-Duk's fascinating body of work, my appreciation only deepens. Very few filmmakers manage to make such audacious and controversial films, and succeed in infusing them with a certain tenderness. They are also extremely visual. Using recurring imagery to show the evolution in the characters state of mind. The Bow is no exception. While the ending is even more puzzling than usual, it is a fascinating film on female coming-of-age and spirituality.

Mysticism of the East World and us who are doesn't understand anything about their life, far world etc. Again we wanted go to Kim ki Duk's Worlds and live there.
Doğu mistisizmini anlamasak da Kim ki Duk yine kendi dünyasına bizleri hayran bıraktı ve orada yaşama özlemimizi tekrar gün yüzüne çıkardı.
