Best movie of this year hands down!
Fresh and Exciting
I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Woman of Fire '82 (1982) (Korean Thriller) This is a variation of the classic "The Housemaid" (1960) (from the same director), but it takes place on a chicken farm. The life of the husband and wife is thrown into turmoil when a young woman comes to work as a maid. If you thought "The Housemaid" was over-the-top, this one will blow your socks off! This film is flat-out ridiculous, but its also oddly riveting and blackly comical. There are some laugh-out-loud moments to be found here, especially near the end. There are also some eye-pleasing sets and more atmospheric architecture, with lots and lots of ticking clocks. The visual style of the film really won me over and made it a very engaging experience. This is the most entertaining of the "Housemaid" installments and I'd go so far as to say that it's the most entertaining pre-1990 South Korean film I've seen to this point. Definitely worth checking out.
