This is quite an interesting film, more of an experiment than anything else, as this was shot in real time in 4 hours using multiple camera setups that mixed both digital video and film. It has a very simple revenge type story with quite an interesting main character and overall it's pretty decent.

Crocodile (1996)
Not to be confused with 2000 'horror' film, this is Kim Ki-duk's debut feature and what we get overall is a decent outing. It's a little inconsistent but manages to deliver with interesting characters and events and Kim Ki-duk already showing his willingness to take on daring subject matter.
Not exactly a wholly pleasant watch but still an enjoyable one.

Samaritan Girl (2004)
So this is the 8th film from Kim Ki-duk that I have now seen and I must say, he has really shown himself to be a consistent director thus far, as this is another solid film.
It has the tonal shifts, interesting characters and unconventional narrative that all make it an intriguing watch. Overall, it's a good movie.

Time (2006)
A solid outing here from Kim Ki-duk. Again, he presents a interesting concept and story that never goes the way you'd expect it to. As usual in his films, you question certain character's motives (of course this can sometimes be a good thing) but it definitely explores plastic surgery and the idea of actually changing yourself for someone you love in an intriguing way. All in all good stuff.
