Samaritan Girl AKA Samaria (2004). Once again, Ki-duk Kim has gone and constructed a magnificent piece of work. This one threatened to be insipid, but low and behold he pulls ahead at the first turn. This is a story that revolves around child prostitution, but that is not the main focus. Instead, it is a story of friendship and love, consequences and redemption. The story was powerful, the direction perfect. The cinematography sprinkles in the occasional inspirational expanse characteristic of Kim. The score was touching, and the symbolism effective. All and all another solid entry from what is probably my fav director. Ashe.
