For me, this movie had two key scenes, concerning either death or departure. One is strangely remote and quiet. A girl dies with a smile on her face that lingers on after her violent end. The other is noisy and full of exhaust fumes. Shame and honesty bring forth a departure that is long planned but still surprising in the care it expresses. These are only some of the poetic scenes of the movie. Although poetic, Kim Ki-Duk is always controversial \u2013 children selling their bodies to men who are seemingly not beasts but also tender lovers, a caring father who causes a blood-bath (in a very literal sense) \u2013 this movie is not for the faint-hearted. It throws a quiet and violent view on a world that is filled with silence and revenge both working against the dreams of a better life.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0397619\/\"><abbr title=\"Internet Movie Database\">IMDb<\/abbr> entry<\/a> | <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rapideyemovies.de\/movies\/samaria\/bilder.php\" title=\"QuickTime plugin required\">Trailer<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in Darmstadt means back in the well-guided care of the Studentischer Filmkreis Darmstadt, which currently hosts a Kim Ki-Duk feature.
