Samaria (Samaritan Girl) (2004)

Director:   Kim Ki-duk
Writer:      Kim Ki-duk
Language: Korean
2 school girls turn to prostitution to fund their trip to Europe. Yeo-Jin is the fixer while her best friend Jae-Young sleeps with the clients. During a police raid Jae-Young jumps from the window of a motel and dies. Yeo-Jin consumed by sadness and guilt decides to sleep with all the men Jae-Young had slept with and return the money to them. Her father who is a detective finds about it and starts following her from school. The film is about this chiefly and not about child prostitution in Korea. The events preceding this are shown in an over the top manner with respect to acting.

Rating: 4/5
