Peninsula (2020)

Peninsula isn’t as fresh, frightening, or memorable as Train to Busan. It also doesn’t quite follow through with its premise but makes up for it with something I bet you’d never see out of a zombie movie set in Korea: Mad Max-style action!

Four years after a zombie outbreak in South Korea, former Marine Corps Captain Jung-Seok (Gang Dong-won) and his widowed brother-in-law Chul-min (Kim Do-yoon) are offered a life-altering job. Inside the undead-riddled Peninsula is an abandoned truck filled with US$20 million. They've been hired to retrieve it as part of a team of four who will enter South Korea at night - when the darkness will hide them from the innumerable ghouls. Once inside, they're shocked to discover survivors in the ruins.

If you’re looking for a heist movie with zombies in it, you want Army of the Dead. Peninsula starts with the team going in to grab the money but within minutes, half of them are dead. Chul-min is taken captive by crazed militants who’ve established a society in the ruins of the city, while Jung-Seok is rescued by Min-Jung (Lee Jung-hyun), her father Kim (Kwon Hae-hyo), and her two daughters, Joon (Lee Re), and Yu-Jin (Lee Ye-won). Now, the ghouls are the least of everyone’s worries. Unit 631 roams the streets, looking for any strays to put in their arena. There, the people have to run away from hungry flesh-eaters while the soldiers bet on who will die. Chul-min needs a way out ASAP. Unfortunately, the satellite phone he would’ve used to call his Chinese mobster bosses has been confiscated. Now Jung-Seok needs to save his brother, get the phone, get the money and leave with the help of the family who rescued him… but things are on the verge of getting dicey. See, Jung-Seok’s met Min-Jung before. She asked him for help four years ago when the zombie plague began. He refused and left her behind. Oops.

As a zombie movie, Peninsula disappoints. They don’t really play a big part in the film except at the beginning and then at the end. Mostly, this is an apocalyptic film. People scrambling for food, cobbling together equipment, setting up dodgy institutions where might makes right, that kind of thing. And of course, there’s the driving. If you’re going to check out Peninsula, it should be for the movie’s best scene, a spectacular race in the city featuring dozens of vehicles with our heroes in the lead and everyone trying to turn them into roadkill. Whereas the rest of the film barely uses zombies, this part of Peninsula brings the two genres together. The dead are obstacles to be dodged, they’re also weapons to use against those pursuing you. It’s fast-paced, expertly coordinated and loads of fun.

Plenty is going on in the film, which makes the nearly two-hour running time go by plenty fast… except at the end. During the conclusion, Peninsula tries to do too much. It pours on the drama as people have to make heroic sacrifices, there are double-crosses that make escape impossible, hope is renewed, then dashed, then renewed again, and so on. Some of this should’ve been cut, not only so we could end on the high we got from the driving scenes but also so the cheese could be kept at a minimum. Still, it works more than it doesn’t.

Peninsula is not a memorable zombie film and when we examine Seoul Station (the prequel to Train to Busan) we see that the terrific 2016 picture that spawned this franchise was more of an anomaly than a revival of the genre. You can still enjoy this follow-up if you love zombies and you want a bit of something new but anything more than the price of a rental is too much.

Film after film: Heojil kyolshim (Decision to Leave, dir. Park Chan-wook, 2022)

Impressively edited and photographed, this film has a strong Hitchcocky vibe, buoyed by lively performances, especially by Tang Wei and Park Hae-il, both of whom effortlessly merge dramatic and comedic beats. Smartly, there's a lot of lightweight situational humor in what could otherwise be deadly serious - a lot of it is provided by supporting actors: Kim Shin-Young, Go Kyung-Pyo, and Lee Jung-hyun.

Humana pero también Parasito… “Parasyte: Los Grises”

La serie está basada en el manga original de Hitoshi Iwaaki que vendió un récord acumulado de más de 25 millones de ejemplares en más de 30 regiones y países con su ingenioso e imaginativo argumento de un parásito que permea en el cerebro humano y controla su cuerpo.

La historia gira en torno a Su-in una joven atrapada entre su humanidad y su influencia parasitaria, pero como mutante mitad parásito y mitad humana, ella no pertenece del todo a ninguno de los dos bandos: ni a los parásitos que pretenden apoderarse de la sociedad humana ni al equipo dedicado a erradicar los organismos parásitos, llamados ‘Los Grises’.

Estreno: 5 de abril de 2024 en Netflix.

Dirigida por Yeon Sang-ho, la serie cuenta con las actuaciones de Jeon So-nee, Koo Kyo-hwan, Lee Jung-hyun, Kwon Hae-hyo y Kim In-kwon.

DECISION TO LEAVE

헤어질 결심

Park Chan-Wook, 2022

[...] Seo-rae is a Chinese woman who speaks Korean at an advanced, but not native level. Park could have inserted the occasional grammatical error into her speech, but he chose not to (in contrast to the text messages sent by her second husband in the latter part of the film, which are filled with typos to comic effect). Seo-rae's word choices are unexpected, and she speaks in a slightly archaic manner to express the fact that she learned much of her Korean by watching costume dramas on TV. The end result is dialogue that feels unusual, slightly awkward but highly expressive in its own way. I'm not sure if my translation fully captures this quality of her speech, but I tried my hardest, from the charmingly stilted (“In Korea, if a person you love gets married, does the love cease?”) to the weirdly poetic (“Because those bleeding photos are screaming wildly”).

Sometimes, discussions with the director are about what is added in translation, rather than what is lost. In one scene, Seo-rae speaks a line in Chinese to the neighborhood cat. Hae-joon records it on his phone, and runs it through a translation app which renders it as, "If you wish to give me a present, bring me the simjang of that kind detective." Simjang in Korean means “heart,” but in the sense of the bodily organ, rather than a metaphorical sense. Hae-joon is disturbed and a bit alarmed by this request, and later asks Seo-rae about it directly. She answers that it was a mistranslation; the Chinese word she spoke should be properly rendered as maeum (the metaphorical sense of the word “heart”). How does one capture all this in the English subtitles? As much as I liked the sound of the phrase, "Bring me the heart of that kind detective," it sounded too metaphorical, rather than the menacing undercurrent that the scene required. After a lengthy discussion, we decided that having the translation app confuse the words “head” and “heart” might be the least bad option. Thus the subtitle, "Bring me the head of that kind detective." "Everyone's going to think you’re referencing Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia," I said to Park. A long pause followed, before he answered, "Very well." (Park is, after all, a devoted Sam Peckinpah fan.)

"Decisão de partir" (Heojil kyolshim) - cinema.

Bora ir ao cinema! Escolhi esse coreano. Vi algumas críticas positivas e o cinema coreano está em alta. O diretor é o mesmo de "Old Boy", talvez o precursor dessa onda coreana. Tinha algumas informações sobre a história, mas bem pouco.

depois de ver: a tendência coreana de sempre ter um quarto ato de reviravolta cansa. a direção é cheia de maneirismos e isso confunde o simbolismo e a poesia que a história teria. menos seria mais.

Decision to Leave (2022, dir. Park Chan-wook) - review by Rookie-Critic

Decision to Leave is a tense noir-ish thriller with a ton of style and great performances. The newest from Oldboy director Park Chan-wook, the film is a subdued effort from the filmmaker, who is normally noted for the striking brutal violence in his films like the Vengeance series and Oldboy. While the difference in tone and intensity is noticeably different, the visual style of the film is still unmistakably his, and it's great. The cinematography of this film is gorgeous, and one of the biggest triumphs the movie has is the lighting. All of the decisions regarding the way things were lit and framed in this film feel very intentional and like it was done with purpose. It's a truly beautiful film and everything on the technical and visually artistic level is near perfection.

On the flip side, while the story is also very good, it feels like it can't quite keep up with that stellar style. There are a good handful of scenes that definitely feel like they are done with a style-over-substance mindset, and while there's nothing inherently wrong with that, it can be done to great effect, here I found it more distracting than anything. The story of a respected, hard-boiled detective that gets too emotionally invested in the personal life of a suspect in a murder case (the victim's widow, at that), this movie screams film-noir from a plot perspective, equal parts Maltese Falcon and Casablanca. It plays out with plenty of twists and reveals that are all very gripping, and the film manages to keep the audience's attention through most of its runtime. I can't really say the film dragged or rushed itself at all, but there was something about the way it all plays out and that semi-frequent sacrifice of style over substance that kept this from being truly great for me. In the spirit of full transparency, I did see this on a day where I was particularly physically and mentally fried, and I don't think I really gave this film the full breadth of my attention and mental focus, so maybe upon a re-watch (which I do plan on doing at some point) I will change my tune, but for now, I will give it this score, which is still pretty great, if you ask me.

Score: 8/10

Currently streaming on MUBI.

I really do hate when I feel like I haven't given a movie everything I've got prior to writing its review, and I thought about not even putting this up right now until I did have that chance to re-watch. So, with that in mind, I might make an amended review once that happens.
