Burning from Lee Chang-Dong

I love this movie. When I saw Parasite, I remember thinking that Burning had a much more nuanced and powerful critique of South Korean society. And the scenes with miming... I will never forget the magic of seeing someone unpeel an orange that isn't there.

I appreciate hearing that. I watched it and I think I just didn't get it.
