Beoning, or more commonly known in international territories as Burning, is the first feature from South Korean director and auteur Chang-dong Lee after a staggering eight-year absence. His latest feature (much like its namesake) is a slow-burning fuse to a warhead of colossally disturbing and deeply amatory radiance of vibrant, albeit nightmarish mysticism.

At an eye-watering one hundred and forty-minute running time, Chang-dong Lee just about manages to pull off his daring tightrope trick of atmospheric tension and build up with a deliciously enigmatic and divisive thriller. Even the likes of his contemporaries in Quentin Tarantino and Luca Guadagnino, often fail to truly balance the grasp of entertainment/intoxication of their story and running time to balance said art.
