The anger takes its course

Even the chases run here on the farm.

"Burning" is a master class of patience. Just because actors and equipment are staged so precisely, Lee Chang-Dong ("Poetry") under the surface of the evils alluded to, and in the minds of the worst possible ideas grow: The delivery boy Jongsu is raised in Seoul, from the pretty Haemi, who grew up in the same village as he. She asks him, during their African stay, take care on your cat.

Suddenly, someone appears on

In the game with the Illusion of Thriller, who today has the Power over the Telling: the one who trusts in the reality of abuse, and tried to discover behind things, the real story – or is it the one, the appeal asks on other exercises and in them deep-seated feelings?

For a budding writer anyway, Jongsu takes things very word for it: When Ben tells him that he set fire to the pastime of abandoned greenhouses, controlled Jongsu all targets in the area, and the device more and more out of breath. The nightmare, he imagines, may not be true, but now the blood rushes to him in the ears. From then on Burning, "" the disturbingly consistent way of wrath. The Motor is the power of Suggestion.
