ARIRANG (Korean Films at Cannes 2011)
by KIM Ki-duk / May 06, 2011

Un Certain Regard Directed by KIM Ki-duk

<Arirang> is

about Kim Ki-duk

playing 3 roles in 1.

Through <Arirang> I can climb over any obstacles in life.

Through <Arirang> I can understand human beings, be thankful of nature, and acknowledge my life as it is now.

We are now…

in the terrestrial world lurking with desires,

in the ghostly world lurking with sorrow,

in the imaginary world lurking with dreams,

with no beginning nor end,

slowly going crazy.

What is the affection that still remains all around me decaying?

It is still stuck to the crown of my head, testing my emotions.

It is still hiding deep within my heart, testing my sense of compassion.

If I didn’t give my heart, the wicked would be erased from my memories, but if I gave my heart, I wouldn’t forget them until the day I die.

Ah…

Arirang

Alright

Let’s

Mercilessly kill each other in our hearts till we die.

Even today

I hold back as I get angry

I laugh as I get jealous

I love as I despise

And forgive as I quiver with the urge to kill.

Wait

I will kill

myself, because of those who I remember.
