    We need subtitles, but it's fun.

    It is a movie with intense action and very tension, and I have already watched the Nth movie, and my friend can watch the Nth movie.

    It continues well from the past to the present of bullfighting and sculpture, but it appears as a scene, so I felt confused. This film and why I went to the Berlin Film Festival are all the movies that anyone can see, and in Korea, it is increasingly going backward and receiving good reviews from many audiences. There is also a novel called Shredding, which is a story about the days when the sculpture was a top and when I met Ryu, and I think it would be nice to make it into a movie.
