The recent death of Kim Ki-duk (20 December 1960 – 11 December 2020) in Riga, Latvia caused a rather intense reaction in the (online) cinema world, mostly revolving around the “fight” on whether he should be remembered as an auteur or as a man who attacked his actresses, with the voices for both being quite numerous and the fact that the S. Korean have been living in Europe in a sort of self-exile putting more fuel in the fire. Before we discuss his ending however, it would be interesting to take a look at where and how everything begun.
“Dissolve” which he has just finished shooting before he died would be his 25th film, including a short one he directed (along 69 more directors) for the 70th anniversary of Venice Film Festival. His long path however, had a number of twists and turns before he reached that point.

Air Bud: Killer Wolf Edition
In an overtly sexist police precinct that is far more preoccupied by keeping tally over who arrested who and how many points each arrests was worth, it falls to the newly appointed detective duo of Sang-Kill ( Kang-Ho Song ) and Eun-Young ( Na-Yeong Lee ) to try and nab the latest potential murderer. However, the cause of death surrounding this bizarre incident leads them to look for a suspect of the “canine” variety. What they discover ( no worries, this is only a quasi-spoiler that shouldn’t affect your overall experience ) is they existence of a formidable crossbreed between a dog and a wolf. Could this be the unusual killer they are looking for?
Quality actors have many gears. Switching from one to the other with perfect timing is key. You wouldn’t want to see someone burst out with laughter in the middle of a dramatic scene and vice-versa.
