Plot: A young woman wakes up and goes out to work. On her way, she meets a charming man and they start a conversation. When a thief jumps in and steals her purse, the man runs after him and retrieves her goods. She agrees to have dinner with him later that night, and a new romance is about to pop off. But then she's awoken by a call. The man on the other end tells her that she's dreaming and that the dream will only become a reality if she commits to it. And so the woman goes back to sleep, hoping to peek into her future. No romance is perfect though.

Ki-duk's final film, released after his passing. And it's a good one, though not a film that will win him any new fans. The themes are very familiar, though Call of God is not quite as violent and shocking as the more divisive entries in his oeuvre. The performances are strong, the cinematography is stylish, and the score is fitting. The ending is actually hopeful, which I guess is a nice way to end a career's worth of films that delved into the darker pits of the human soul. And with that, I've seen everything this talented but troubled man had to share with this world.
