Foul mood passing! Oh, to be approximately human again! Huzzah.
So, I Saw the Devil was a terrible disappointment. I will admit that it was a gorgeously filmed movie, but that's where I stop. It was probably the most loosely constructed, masturbatory thing I've ever seen. If you take out the pointless gore-for-gore's-sake scenes, you end up with about 30 minute of real film out of nearly an hour and a half. Too bad, I really like all his other films that I've seen, I just don't see how everyone loves the thing.
