Elegante in ogni dettaglio al limite del manierismo, eccessivo in ogni violenza al limite dello splatter questa storia di un gangster, esperto pi\u00f9 nel corpo a corpo che nei rapporti umani, che si innamora della bella pupa del boss e, nel momento in cui dovrebbe ucciderla, perch\u00e9 scoperta col giovane amante, tentenna e la salva, andando cos\u00ec in faccia alla guerra, alla punizione, alla vendetta, tenta la carta del noir iperlaccato e nutrito di mel\u00f2 ma riesce ad andare, se non dritto al cuore, dritto ai sensi solo nei momenti in cui la lotta, la corsa e la morte di fanno coreografia. Ma spesso il ritmo latita, la sceneggiatura anche e i brandelli di saggezza zen, prologo ed epilogo di un finale di morte senza appello, risultano posticci, quasi d&#8217;accatto. \u00c8 la vita non dolceamara come recita il titolo ma nerissima raccontata da\u00a0<strong>Jee-Woon Kim<\/strong>\u00a0che in Italia conosciamo come il regista di\u00a0<em>Two sisters<\/em>\u00a0e che qui tutto costruisce gravitando, con mestiere ma a tratti con superficialit\u00e0, sul tema dell&#8217;amore impossibile e della vendetta, ormai vero marchio di fabbrica del paese. E allarmante segno, rimando, squillo di un mondo che sembra correre con in mente solo il guazzabuglio primitivo della lotta all&#8217;ultimo sangue, con armi e con corpi non conta ma conta che la sola certezza \u00e8 che a vincere \u00e8 sempre il pi\u00f9 forte e che altri modi per far valere le proprie ragioni non si intravedono neanche all&#8217;orizzonte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">di Silvia Di Paola<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sangue e notte, violenza e solitudine, incomunicabilit\u00e0 e prigioni in salsa coreana.
