The title 'Real Fiction' could lead one to think that this is a South Korean spoof of Tarantino. In fact it is a daring but impressive stunt from Ki-duk Kim the director of the stunning 'The Isle'. The plot is a rather straight-forward tale of revenge with a few Lynch/surreal touches. A young portrait artist gets a vision where he is reminded of all the misfortunes of his life, is challenged to shoot a man and finally walk out as a new human to show pay-back to whoever treated him wrong in the past. The bullies includes a costumer, a comrade from the army, an ex-fiancé and a small gang of thugs. Unlike Park's 'Vengeance' trilogy though, 'Real Fiction' is without much on-screen violence. The film rather works on the emotional basis and makes a great deal on making us care for the poor characters to be whacked. The dramatic writing is really great.
But even more impressive is the cinematic execution. 'Real Fiction' was shot over ONE single day without any scenes being shot twice. If you dig the kind of psychotronica SWV usually uncovers you should know what a movie made without re-takes can look like. Amazingly 'Real Fiction' is very competently looking all the way through with only two or three visible goofs. That certainly gives a far more pure feeling to a beautiful looking film made in a time where almost every movie is shot through filter. Recommended.
