Review of A Muse

A Muse (2012)
10/10
A Masterpeice of the Spring and Winter
25 January 2024
A vibrant tale that blends the poetry of language and visual beauty in a way that elevates both. It tells the most exquisite familiar tale of beauty and emotion in the skilled eye of the knowing beholder who has the depth, empathy, years and adoration only a long lived human can embrace and channel into prose.

Yes, it is that special and must be felt deep in the viewers heart to know weight of its impact. In her debut performance by one of the most gifted dramatic actresses of her generation Kim Go-eun is mesmerizing and natural in her perfect portrayal of eager appreciative and wiser than her years of youth. On the other side of this wonder is Park Hae-il who is masterful in his realistic portrayal and his breathless ardor that desires nothing more than the ability to take in the glory that is the shining Eungyo from the most wondering and calm center that is the creator to the muse!

In the midst of this perfection the cruel world will interrupt and twist at the end that is this story of humanity, creating not the perfect ending but an ending perfectly realized. Korean filmmakers and show runners have reinvigorated the dramatic tale and even among such creative brilliance this is a film that rises higher still and makes it viewers thankful to be a part of it which is something Hollywood lost so long ago.

Perfection is stil attainable and A Muse paves the way.
