A love story that's brimming in sorrow but laced with an ever so slight touch of empathy, Ki-Duk explores a chock full of themes ranging from life and death to family and sin through the twisted relationship of a death row convict and a reclusive woman.
Nominated for the Palme d’Or in 2007, Breath is a daring, surrealist mix of sex, death, and an impossible love rendered with poetic melancholy. Kim Ki-duk’s typically meditative style subtly brings out the inner lives of his characters, who are searching for happiness in the simplest of pleasures.
