- Synopsis:
- I'm A Cyborg, the latest film from the Korean director Park Chan-wook, is a madcap fantasy, screwball romance. Young-goon is admitted to a mental institution, believing herself a cyborg, she charges herself with a transistor radio. Il-soon a fellow inmate steals the other inmates' personality traits and believes he is fading and will one day turn into a dot. When Young-goon refuses to eat, Il-soon decides it's his job to get her on her feet again. This charming, tender and visually arresting film cements Park Chan-wook's reputation as one of the most gifted and playful filmmakers working today.

A strange journey indeed - I'm a Cyborg review by SW
I love Park Chan-Wook’s work in all its bravery, risk and occasional avant gardeness. Cyborg is very definitely in the latter category as it is surreal to the max! I agree with other reviewers that it really is so so strange that it could prove for many a challenging film to make it through and to truly find they enjoy. I’m not sure I found the experience ‘enjoyable’ in the purest sense ... however it is so unusual and such a bold and maddeningly surreal approach to the difficult (and often ‘surreal’) manifestations of exploring mental health issues that it deserves recognition and 4 stars at least. An important though sometimes baffling work of cinema. Kudos to the ensemble cast also who magnificently depict characteristics that are quite quite out of the ordinary.

Pretty but lacking substance. - I'm a Cyborg review by CP Customer
I'm a fan of Chan-wook Park, he's easily one the best and inventive new Korean directors around and 'OldBoy' was one of the best revenge films of all time. 'I'm a Cyborg' though is somewhat of a disappointment. Set in a mental institution it's a strange and quirky love story between a young woman who believes she's a cyborg and a young man who who thinks he can steal people's souls. From a visual point the film is beautiful to watch, though from a story point it's really lacking and the characters never really connect with you as the viewer.

Too kookey - I'm a Cyborg review by SR
I should have really like this film, its down my usual street. However after an hour I found myself bored and I struggled to get to the end of the film.
