Berlinale 2004, 16 February 2004
10/10
Author: Stefan Werner from Berlin, Germany

Kim Ki-Duk has won the Silver Bear for Best Directing at the 2004 Berlinale, the International Filmfestival Berlin. I've seen "Samaria" at the Berlinale and was overwhelmed. It's so intense... The actress Kwak Ji-Min is really great, even it's been her first movie ever... But there was one thing that was irritating: the sound effects. Well, they were too bizarre. But, nevertheless, Samaria is a great movie from a country not well known.
