In tonight's DINNER & A MOVIE, the Mister and I are looking at 2016's THE WAILING, written and directed by Hong-jin Na. The film follows Jong-goo (Do-won Kwak), a policeman in a small, rural village in Korea that is being plagued with strange murders and occurrences. The main suspect is the Japanese Man (Jun Kunimura) who begins to become an active presence in Jong-goo's nightmares. There are stellar performances by all the actors and Hong-jin Na amps up the dread and horror by leaving things so open to interpretation that that adds an added layer of unease to the movie watching experience. Mister and I were very impressed with the strong script that kept you guessing even as the end credits were being shown. The film is currently streaming on Amazon Prime/Vudu/Tubi and Viki. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.
Shout out to Greg G from film discussion group for recommending this movie. Additional details can be found here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wailing_(film)
Tonight's dinner was courtesy of Wegman's (frozen veggies and couscous) and Target (tilapia) which we cooked in our Ninja Air Fryer. All cooked nicely, filling and healthy so we are feeling super awesome tonight.
