arsaib: This was the first film of Kim Ki-Duk I saw. I do have a copy of 3-Iron. Will definitely try and acquire some more of his films...I read last night that he is entirely self-taught as a film-maker? And he dropped out of school so has no formal education...went to France, etc. - very interesting life he's led and one that seems totally at odds with the understanding that he has. 

jcdavies: Thanks for the tip...looked up a review of it and it sounds interesting...there's so much to see and most of what is worth seeing is so difficult to find! Are there any other movies exploring the same idea?
