In "Samaritan girl" Ki-Duk put his cinema of poetry and tragedy at the service of a young girl who wants to redeem her dead friend (who was a prostitute) giving the money back to all of her customers.
As usual Ki-duk takes care of each and every sequence; his movies are just like a succession of pictures that sometimes are full of beauty and some others are full of brutality. "Samaritan girl" is less reflexive and less contemplative than "The arc" or "Spring, summer, autumn...", there are more dialogs and the plot is much more worldly.
If you like the movies of this Korean director you're gonna enjoy this one, but if you haven't seen any of his works I recommend that you watch "Iron 3" or "The isle" first...
*My rate: 7/10
