[HanCinema's Film Review] "Cobweb"
By William Schwartz | Published on
Usually, when I write that a film's too clever for its own good, it's a backhanded coompliment. A movie that focuses on being clever at the expense of telling a coherent story is, well, incoherent. "Cobweb" is a very weird exception to this case. "Cobweb" is unlikely to make very much sense to anyone who doesn't have a decent understanding of seventies era South Korean film. But this is pretty much the whole point. Removed from that highly specific context, the characters in this film are more than a little bit unhinged.
