The Piper


(Kim Gwang-tae/2015/South Korea)


Taking the pied piper myth and reframing it within post war Korea, The Piper is at times fantastical but ultimately nightmarish and violent. Veering between straight narrative and flashback it also veers thematically between social comment, myth and classic revenge story. I’d resist calling it compelling viewing but it kept me entertained throughout.

(3/5)
