Upu has hit the mark again.
Presented exclusively at the Tagliacozzo festival, the first Korean musical, "Dancing on Oshiro's Grave," was a delightful surprise for everyone.
The film begins with the ritual dances of a paranoid fisherman next to the coffin of his dead friend.
The musical commentary consists solely of the chirping of crickets and cicadas.
Then comes the encounter with the mute daughter of the cemetery caretaker. In her, we recognized the young breakthrough actress from "The Children Tear Us Apart": remember that little gem of six hours and forty minutes where all the male characters were named Takashi?
But in this latest work, Upu has truly reached the zenith of his art, especially in the exquisite shots of the interior of the coffin and the soft eroticism of the love scenes with the vulture.
The performers were excellent, but above all, Ken Ni Sho, in the role of the corpse.
All viewers are strongly advised not to enter the theater in the last two
