A surreal intersection of universal themes with Zen Philosophy
Mago is an arthouse project featuring an all-nude cast spun with lot symbolism closely intertwined with Korean Mythology that will satisfy those who manage to connect with the fascinating nightmares. The zen philosophy permeates the film and the director succeeds and breaks the boundaries of presentation. The connection between life, death and rebirth and turns it into a visual experience. There is a lot of queasy metamorphosis in the story, the theme of creation and destruction will delight any fan of surrealist cinema. It is provocative with mystical narrative and few songs with nude cinematography on the lines of Kate Bush. The opening sequence is one of the most striking I have ever seen - a street filled with frogs crushed and runover by vehicles. It only gets weirder in each segment; the cyberpunk setup was oddly satisfying along with the strange musicals.
The sources of inspiration for this provocative works lie in both art house and avant-garde cinema. If you ask me which film influenced the gestation of Mago the most I'd say Mnasidika (1969) by Michael and Roberta Findlay, along with " Doom Generation" by Gregg Araki. However, on the top shelf is Rafael Corkidi's Pafnucio Santo (1977).
Final thoughts, I am still undecided as it left me visibly shaken but that doesn't mean it's a great experience. If there was more budget, with less indulgent editing it could have been brilliant. As it is, if you have the patience, there are gems to be found amongst the rough. Ultimately, you can enjoy this movie if you're' a fan of Rafael Corkidi, David Lynch, Walter Hugo Khouri, Parviz Kimiavi or Shuji Terayama. See this film and make your own judgement.
