We are discussing one of the best films, Korean or otherwise, made in recent years, Lee Chang-dong's "Burning." In fact, this is Doc's favorite movie! "Burning" is an adaptation of Haruki Murakami's short story, "Barn Burning" (itself an adaptation of sorts of William Faulkner's short story of the same name) and features incredible performances from Yoo Ah-in, Jeon Jong-seo, and Stephen Yeun.
There is a lot of ground to try to cover in this discussion. We tackle the movie's focus on class and wealth divides, what it says about creative individuals and the creative process, reality vs unreality of certain elements of the film and what those possible conclusions mean for the film as a whole as well as its individual elements, and so so much more. All of this discussion is near, very very near...all you have to do is press play!
