With its perfectly composed takes and nuanced acting performances, Camel(s) offers a moving account of a weekend affair in a coastal town between an undertaker and a pharmacist. Director Park Ki-yong's style lies somewhere between documentary and voyeuristic, as his calmly observant camera slowly reveals the details of the couple's lives through subtle gestures and bits of conversation. The result is simply hypnotic.
