Picture this situation: a professor, his attractive young student, and a white Mercedes. He simply wanted a nice weekend drive in the countryside with his favorite student – but he quickly discovers that sometimes people can be scarier than ghosts. What seemed like his own One Fine Spring Day turns into a Korean-style Deliverance, complete with angry, crazy country bumpkins. And then it just becomes a miserable day for everyone involved.

Extremely violent, sadistically comic and just oozing creativity from every corner, Won Shin Yeon’s second film A Bloody Aria continues one of the most important trends in recent Korean Cinema, that of mixing elements from different genres and adding a little (wicked) humour on the side. Whereas his debut The Wig was a producer-driven horror film heavy on the visuals, A Bloody Aria is pure, unadulterated raw energy. Its script created huge buzz in the industry, when it won an important contest in 2004. And with a cast like that, it’s no surprise the performances carry the film: Han Suk Kyu plays a villain for the first time in his career, and eternal second-liners Oh Dal Soo (Oldboy, Sympathy For Lady Vengeance) and Lee Moon Shik (A Big Match, Mapado) get the chance to show their considerable talent. A Bloody Aria is certainly not for the weak of heart, but it’s probably one of Korea’s most unique black comedies since The Humanist.
