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.
本片由「巴顿将军」幕后原班人马制作。葛雷哥莱毕克(Gregory Peck)在本片中将已成传奇的麦克阿瑟将军,演活成一个有血有肉的凡人。将这位一代名将如何从战胜日韩,最后被总统逼退的心路历程表达得淋漓尽致
