The Man With Three Coffins

Directed by Lee Jang-ho. With Kim Myung-kon, Lee Bo-hee,
Chu Seok-yang
South Korea 1987, 35mm, color, 104 min. Korean with English subtitles
Lee's inimitable masterpiece is a hypnotic trance film and
drifting road movie that follows a melancholy widower's journey back
into his past as he travels to his dead wife's rural hometown to spread
her ashes. Stylistically daring, The Man With Three Coffins
uses a floating voice-over and avant-garde montage to evoke, with
striking frankness, its anti-hero's sexually charged fears and stinging
frustrations. Imbued with the heavy perfume of bitter memories and
frustrated desires, The Man With Three Coffins is a work of raw
emotional intensity that almost seems itself to be haunted by the same
supernatural forces that so disquiet the film and are most powerfully
embodied in the uncanny figure of a shaman in direct communication with
the shadow world of the departed.Chu Seok-yang
