Real Fiction / Shilje sanghwang - by Kim Ki Duk (2000)

The film revolves around Na, a street artist who’s also a bit of a numpter. He gets picked on a lot, people seem to get pics done then just say they rubbish and pay him either nothing or less than the price! For some reason he has headphones on that are hooked up to the phone box so he listens to peoples conversations there… No idea why this is as it doesn’t ever seem to be explained! This girl with a camcorder gets a pic done then says she has no money but asks him to follow her. Then there’s a strange encounter with some bloke who winds Nu up into killing frenzy… again this isn’t explained at all so not sure why this guy is remotely interested! Thusly Nu goes off on a spree to kill those who have wringed him.

An unstable artist (Ju Jin-mo) is sent over the edge during a walk in the park when a woman with a video camera (Kim Jin-ah) begins following him. Flying into a murderous rage, the artist begins running loose through the city, leaving dead bodies in his wake, until he winds up back in the park where he began. Director Kim Hi-duk shot this feature in "real time," during less than four hours in one afternoon, using an armada of 20 film and video cameras set up in different locations; significantly, the film ends with the film running out in the cameras set in the park. Kim Hi-duk then edited his footage down to a compact 86 minutes.
