One of the protagonists of the story, Tae-seok (Jae-hee), is a young idler who rides his motorcycle from house to house every day, handing out flyers and stuffing them into keyholes. If the flyer has not been removed in a few days, Tai Shi will pick the lock and go in for a while, where he will take a bath, cook and take pictures. In exchange, he would help the host with housework and housekeeping. It seems unbelievable that Taishi naturally lived in the empty houses of strangers in a cycle like this, as if he lived in his own home. People live alone. By chance, Tai Shi met Shan Hua (Li Chengjuan), a woman who had been abused and tortured by her husband in an empty house. Tai Shi, who panicked and fled, remembered the sadness in Shan Hua's eyes and her whole body. The bruised, kind-hearted Tae-seok couldn't rest assured that the wounded Sun-hwa returned to her home again when Sun-hwa's husband happened to be abusing her, and he immediately shot and took her away. So a lonely man and a wounded woman came together like this, wandering together and living in empty houses, and began their unexplainable wandering life and a elusive love.
The love in "Empty House" is ideal, pure and realistic. This is a film that Korean director Kim Ki-duk won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director at the Venice Film Festival in 2004, and is considered to be the best director Kim Ki-duk has. a movie. The biggest feature of the whole film is that, except for a line of dialogue at the end: I love you! The whole scene is like a silent film with no dialogue. All the performances are completed only through the eyes and movements of the actors and actresses, but they don't feel boring. It can be seen that the actors' performance skills and the director's production level are relatively high. The director used the most primitive silent film form to tell the audience a most primitive love story, allowing the audience to enjoy the most primitive emotional impulses from the heart. Maybe there is an empty house in our hearts.
