The Fifth Thoracic Vertebra

I often complain that South Korea lacks the type of indie genre directors that make Japanese cinema such a wondrous industry, Park Sye-young is proving me wrong. He's a young director whose first feature film is an absolute dream. There are dashes of Tsukamoto in there, maybe a little Dupieux and Hellraiser too, but it's mostly just Park delivering a wholly unique experience. The plot's a little out there, but the presentation makes all the difference here. The cinematography and score are superb, creating a weird, uneasy yet beautiful atmosphere. A real find, and I couldn't be more grateful to the person who recommended it to me.
