I once took a film course that discussed what film is about. I took away from the class that the medium is eclectic, involving in its expression elements of so many other arts -- painting, sculpture, music, dance, and time itself. Bin-Jip, 3 Iron, is an expression that distills the eclectic nature of the medium into an emotional purity that asks us each a question. What do you think/feel life is, what is the purpose of your life? The great gift of this film is that it allows for my (your) particular experience, whatever your take on life.
Little if any dialog. Very fine cinematography. This film reminds me of the great New Wave French films of the 1950-60s. Ultimately, it's about the built-in desire we have for control of our lives, and the simple fact that we each need to accept that we need assistance, not perhaps from our fellow human beings so much as faith in some other force.
An exceptional film.
