I’ve been wanting to see this movie ever since it came out and finally got to it tonight. It was worth the wait, Bin-Jip (or 3-iron) is truly beautiful. And there’s not much more I can add to that.
Except that I need to warn my dad about the dangers of golf.

3-Iron was the first Kim Ki-duk film I saw and I was mesmerized by its beauty and difference compared to any other film I’ve ever seen in my life. I didn’t know who this director was, I had no idea what the film was about – I’m not completely sure why I even bought it, but I’m really glad I did.

To me, 3-Iron was unconventional. The main character doesn’t speak at all during the film – there isn’t much dialogue anyway – the atmosphere in the film is created with other, more subtle, elements, such as music, happenings, beautiful scenes. The story itself is compelling and fascinating, nothing much seems to happen but in reality many things change as the film goes on. Above anything else 3-Iron reminds us that words aren’t always necessary and there’s so much beauty in silence as well. 3-Iron might be a bit tricky to approach and its world might not open to everyone at once, but I’d still strongly recommend watching this, as it might have a huge impact on you too, as it had on me. :)
