What a wonderful, simple and moving story of a life. Like all the best stories, this film dignifies the ordinary. Everyone has a story to tell. It highlights the bravery and fortitude we all possess, and how no event or circumstance can enslave who we really are. The film floats effortlessly between time and memory. It is inventive and tender and understated. I hope that this film is seen more widely as it shows that we can all break free from our past and begin with as many fresh starts as we desire. Lastly, love is shown to be timeless and that it can be enjoyed as intensely in old age as it is in youth. Beautiful.
Once again, the Korean filmmakers have thrown down the gauntlet - making action sequences an art form - inventive, unbelievable, incredible - it leaves Hollywood action films in the shade - plodding and predictable- only Wick comes close to this high octane violent action. It was the visual equivalent of the best ride in a Theme Park. The photography and direction blended each set piece into the other with seamless ease. Yet unlike US Blockbusters the action leaves you breathless as opposed to bored or listless. Warning! After watching Carter you may need a lie down or find your old BMX to race down a steep hill..!
