What's on your list of the top kino this year so far? I want to know what I missed.
Pic related from the director of The Chaser and The Yellow Sea
>succeeds in making a clusterfuck of themes work together
>avoids cheap scares
>the god-tier atmosphere in the last half hour
>highly rewatchable
>he watches movies in the wrong aspect ratio, artifacted video & improper framerate
No thank you. I'll wait for a proper release.
next you'll be telling me you watched that shitty Handmaiden rip.
You have terrible taste and no cinematic knowledge
There's a Handmaiden rip? fuck
tempted
It's busted just like the Wailing release. Have some patience. Don't ruin movies for yourself by being impatient. Atmospheric movies need to be viewed properly.
Yeah I can't stand bad rips, I didn't bother getting madVR set up for nothing
What's the best tracker for finding propers of Korean kino first?
kek
yea, im a quality snob myself .. but i really wanted to watch this one. I found a 720p that was pretty shity but it sufficed.
I enjoyed this film as well, OP. I definitely need to see it again when a better rip comes out, but it's definitely in my top films of the year, so far.
The Neon Demon. You better wait for the blu-ray and not download that shitty web-dl hitting next week, you pleb.
>wrong aspect ratio
what
For new movies I don't think there's one that's better/faster than the others (by more than a few hours). I know PTP has some 1080p blu-rays of Japanese movies released '14-15 that are not on tehconnection & avistaz though.
It's been stretched. It was not released in its original aspect ratio.
>>implying I won't get both
If it's your 2nd viewing, sure whatever. If it's your first viewing, just wait. There are so many dark scenes (some with flashing lights) that will look much better in blu-ray.
anyone want to send an asiatorrents invite my way?
If you're looking for the rips just use DHT search engines like digbt
I don't know user,i am pretty sick and tired of these korean detective films with revenge and murder as the main theme and using suspense(even if they are probably the best at it) as an element to get there.
At this point it feels like watching the same films over and over again,it's way too played out at this point.
Ehehe...
The wailing is not a detective nor murder story. It's not about revenge either. Its a fresh breath in korean cinema. Watch it. You'll love it.
Sick of them? How many do you watch? There are not a ton of highly regarded ones that don't have something unique going for them. As someone who watches a lot of Korean movies. While they may be good at them, there aren't actually THAT many.
Also The Wailing is a mystery/horror movie.
Is The Wailing ruined for me if I know who the demon is? Should I even bother still..
The Wailing is more of a thriller with mystery, horror and fantasy elements. It barely has anything in common with well-known Korean revenge movies other than the bumbling rural cop trope
Oh, it's next week? Very nice, can't wait
Blu-Ray is next month though. If it gets leaked early you might only have to wait an extra week or two for it.
>The wailing is not a detective nor murder story.
yes it is. just because there are supernatural elements to it doesn't make it not a detective or murder story
I've been living in a cave since kickass was taken down. How do I acquire this
The Wailing leaked already? Can anyone provide a link?
It leaked 2 months ago. At this point just wait for blu-ray instead of watching this shitty rip.
Sure they indeed have a unique angle at the narrative most of the time ,but my issue is with the themes which have gone stale at this point.
And this is exactly why breathless(2008) felt like a breath of fresh air to me.
I was indeed planing to check it out despite of what i said earlier.Do you have a link for the torrent ?
Breathless was a great movie. I don't see what that has to do with anything though. There are plenty of non-detective movies that have come out in the past few years that are fantastic.
It's on every single private tracker and on every single public Korean tracker. tosarang, torrentkim3, avistaz, tehconnection, ptp, etc etc..
Are there supernatural elements to it? There are multiple ways to read into the movie and the ending(s).
Anyway to me personally it has nothing to do with the generic korean detective/murder/revenge/drama stories that we have seen so much.
Id recommend it to everyone.
digbt dot org
look for "The Wailing (2016) 720p WEB-DL x264 AC3" 1.6gb
the 3.5gb one has Korean hardsubs I think
I fucking loved The Chaser, will I like Yellow Sea and the Wailing?
Yes because that one is not the only player in the game
Care to recommend a few?Also thanks.
Thanks nigga
Yellow Sea is a more slow-paced thriller and The Wailing is a horror/mystery. How the fuck should we know. There are other movies like The Chaser, if that's what you wanna watch.
Here's a few good ones from the past ~5 years. Few ones that feature detectives included, so just filter them out yourself if you feel the need.
Moebius
Pieta
The Terror Live
A Hard Day
New World
Hwayi: A Monster Boy
For the Emperor
A Company Man
Bedevilled
Confession of Murder
Revenge: A Love Story
The Housemaid
No Mercy
Way Back Home
Haemoo
The Tower
The Nameless Gangster
Han Gong-ju
I have a ton on my watchlist from the past few years as well. I could list some of them, but I can't personally verify that they are good.
I've seen all other korean kino though
Fuck it, here's a few I plan to watch soon that look good.
The Shameless
The Truth Beneath
The Handmaiden

Mother is a Whore
Spirits’ Homecoming
Spa Night
Inside Men
Under the Sun (doc on North Korea, not directed by Korean)
Alone
Right Now, Wrong Then
Angry Painter
Gyeongju
Broken
A Girl at My Door
All from 2016-2014, I believe. So yeah there's some good stuff from Korea.
ITT: Weebos
a "weeaboo" is someone obsessed with Japanese culture. You're the only person who has brought up something Japanese in this thread. So you're the most "weeaboo" person here.
>korean trash
Its more like ITT: Sup Forums movie buffs
Fucking weebs and their excuses
Go back to spamming cuck porn and contributing quality content to this board.
There's no need to be upset, friend
Did any of you fags watch the best show of the year?
What do you think of the films in my image? They were all released recently.
What's that? You haven't seen any of them? Well isn't that a shocker. Now settle down and try to refrain from thinking anybody on this board gives a slightest fuck of what a plebeian like you thinks of an artistic medium.
>contributing quality content to this board
>he says as he posts in a KINOxDD thread
adorable. also korean cinema is basically Hollywood 2. it's all edgy fedora dog shit. It gives plebs the ability to say they've seen foreign films and allows them to keep the same type of enjoyment they get from blockbusters.
All good posts.
IMDB babbys having the nerve to think they have any kind of moral high ground on this board isn't in any way acceptable
>Calling your own shitpost "good"
You came into a thread for something you didn't like and started attacking people. So yeah, I do think they have a moral high ground.
:^)
I don't samefag unless its about getting this board split into Sup Forums and /film/ so we can get the patricians back.
As someone who's seen very few Korean films, could you give some examples of the films you're describing? They sound good to me
Below is samefag.
:^)
