禁室培欲5

Driving home late at night during a heavy rainstorm, Glen experiences car trouble. Near where his car gets stuck, he spots a house, knocks on the door and is greeted by an oddly friendly middle-aged man, Arthur, and his younger wife, Cyndi. The strange couple pours him a drink, and then more drinks, followed by an unexpected offer that Glen can’t refuse. Elsewhere, a young woman, Katie, is feeling emotionally weighed down by a secret romantic arrangement that feels like a textbook case of gaslighting. And at the same time, in a nondescript research facility, medical professional Julie begins questioning her role in a bizarre experiment, fearing that she’s doing more harm than good.

Before "The Chaser", Na Hong-jin made a small name for himself with a string of acclaimed student films. The last of these, "Sweat", is a stylized mood piece about exactly what it proclaims. An experimental film at heart, there are nevertheless identifiable characters, and a skeletal quotidian narrative develops -- everyday life recorded by high-speed cameras in extreme close-ups. It doesn't have the serial-killer thrills of "The Chaser", but you might see hints of that film's stark visuals and draining physicality.A beautiful piece of aesthetic work with sweat as a thread. But no one sweats for the same reasons.This ode to sweat, in slow-motion shots with a rhytmic musical accompaniment, presents the daily cycle of a man (and a woman), which is at a certain level also a cycle of life.
