Breath (Original title: 숨, Sum, often Soom written) is a film of the Korean director Kim Ki-duk from the year 2007 .
action
A woman betrayed and severely traumatized by her loveless husband, who constantly lectures, visits the murderer Jin several times on death row. He has just attempted suicide and cannot speak because of his injured larynx. She has an undeclared relationship with him (she claims to be his ex-girlfriend to the prison authorities). Their bizarre behavior leads to the wallpapering of the visiting room of the prison. Her startled husband leaves his lover and demands that his wife cancel the visits.
Criticism and reactions
The film screened at the 2007 Cannes International Film Festival and the Melbourne Festival. Director Kim compares the film with its lack of dialogue ability with Korean society.
"Highly symbolic and sometimes on the verge of kitsch, the visually and narrative overwhelming film lives out its mannerisms quite seriously and gives the mysterious twists a great deal of radicality, especially since it is always about the profound entanglement of love and death."
