Wild Animals (Yasaeng dongmul bohoguyeog) is the second film by the South Korean director Kim Ki-duk . He is the only one who plays abroad, in France, where Kim studied and worked as a street painter.
action
A North Korean ex-soldier Hong-sang and a South Korean street painter Chung-hae ( Jo Jae-hyun ) meet in Paris. Both are there illegally. They develop a friendship, but come into conflict with the local gangsters.
Criticism / reception
The work was not running internationally at the time of its release (that only started with his third film) and was only shown at the Etrange Festival in France in 2002. It is regarded as one of its worst, not least because of the weak French actors, and is more of a film-historical significance. ( For example, Real Fiction is again about a street painter).
