BURNING is the searing examination of an alienated young man, Jongsu (Ah-in Yoo), a frustrated introvert whose already difficult life is complicated by the appearance of two people into his orbit: first, Haemi (newcomer Jong-seo Jun), a spirited woman who offers romantic possibility, and then, Ben (Steven Yeun, THE WALKING DEAD, SORRY TO BOTHER YOU), a wealthy and sophisticated young man she returns from a trip with. When Jongsu learns of Ben’s mysterious hobby and Haemi suddenly disappears, his confusion and obsessions begin to mount, culminating in a stunning finale.

-
“It offers a taut and thrilling mystery that you will be talking about for days.”
– Courtney Small, CINEMA AXIS -
“This is the most absorbing movie I've seen this year, as well as the most layered and enigmatic.”
– Justin Chang, LOS ANGELES TIMES -
“A beautifully cryptic slow burner that lingers long in the senses.”
– Ty Burr, BOSTON GLOBE -
“A great film, engrossing, suspenseful, and strange.”
– Sheila O’Malley, ROGEREBERT.COM -
“All three leads are sensational (Yeun turns yawns and soft laughter into nightmares), giving performances that retain a sense of mystery that dovetails with the movie's ambiguity.”
– Manohla Dargis, THE NEW YORK TIMES -
“Is it a love triangle, a murder mystery, or a comment on the human condition? Whatever you call this stunning, slow-build thriller from South Korean director Lee Chang-dong, it sizzles with a cumulative power that will knock the wind out of you.”
– Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
