Filmmaker's Kim ki-Duk's work needs to be apprehended through the
senses, as I discovered when delving into his unique world. He
points to the clues, but expects the viewer to seek for his/her own
comprehension of the works inside their own hearts. Having walked
that road myself, I strongly encourage the reader to opt for this
choice rather than rely on second-hand commercial critiques. You do
not need to think; this is not an intellectual exercise. I
sincerely hope that this book will fulfill a twofold purpose: to
introduce neophytes into Kim's world, and to help those who already
joined the group of his followers to widen their view on his
enlightening work. In either case, you only need to watch, to watch
carefully, and to open all your senses to what is on the screen.
You will probably discover that, at some point or other, you too
were there. "There" is not a physical place. It is a moment in
life, suspended in mid-air; it is a sensation you cannot describe;
it is a tear, a smile, a shiver. Something coming from a place with
no name will pierce into some equally nameless part of you. And
your emotions will flow into the river that connects the past with
the future, the real with the imaginary, the doable with the
impossible. If you have already seen Kim's movies, you know what I
am talking about. If you have not, it is time to peek into the
amazing world of one of the most remarkable film makers of our
times. MMK Bio Since her early youth, Argentinean writer,
translator, and lecturer MARTA MERAJVER-KURLAT has been attracted
to the ways in which mankind organizes its narratives. Having
undertaking studies in myth, languages, translation, psychology,
and psychoanalysis, she wrote scripts for RAI and Pramer, staged a
children's opera in Buenos Aires in the 80s, translated over forty
books and plays into Spanish and English, and was awarded the
Dunken Poetry Prize in 2005. She authored Understanding English
(Editorial Formar, Buenos Aires, 2004), Gracias por la muerte and
Los gloriosos sesenta y despus (novels, Jorge Pinto Books Inc, New
York, 2006 and 2007 respectively, the former translated into
English under the title Just Toss the Ashes by the same publishing
house in 2007), Finnegans Wake o el ltimo sueo de un escritor in
Lacan y los escritores (Editorial Escuela Freudiana de Buenos
Aires, Bs. As., 2007), and La comprensin auditiva de una lengua
extranjera in Medicina Psicocosocial - Lectura Psicoanaltica
(Asociacin Psicoanaltica Argentina, Librera Akadia Editorial,
Buenos Aires, 2008). She also published El Ulises de James Joyce:
una lectura posible, a comprehensive guide to Joyce's masterpiece
for Spanish readers (2008, Jorge Pinto Books Inc, New York). In
addition to her permanent teaching of James Joyce, for the last
three years she has been holding a seminar on Tragedy.
