미국 영화매체 버라이어티 (Variety)는 최근 김기덕 감독의 새 영화 ‘스톱’이 ‘비이성적이고 갈피를 못 잡는’ 영화라며 혹평을 했다.
최근 체코 카를로비 바리 영화제에서 공개되었는데, 2011년 일본 후쿠시마 원전 사고를 주제로 환경보호의 중요성을 모티브로 한다.

영화에서 한 젊은 부부는 원전 인근에서 평화로운 삶을 살아가는 중 원전사고 이후 강제로 이주된다.
임신을 하고 있던 여자는 자신의 아이가 방사능에 노출되어 기형이 되었다고 믿게 되고, 이를 믿지 않던 남편은 진실을 파헤치면서 이야기는 전개된다.
해외에서 많은 호평을 받았던 김기덕 감독이지만, 버라이어티의 평에 의하면 김 감독은 불충분한 지식을 바탕으로 영화를 만들었을 뿐만 아니라 큰 재난이었던 후쿠시마 원전 사고를 부적절하게 다뤘다고 주장했다.

Kim Ki-duk’s new film lashed by Variety
Director Kim Ki-duk’s new film “Stop” received a scathing review from U.S.-based entertainment trade weekly Variety.
In a recent article, Variety said that the movie was a “pretty muddled, irrational rant.” Citing a line from the film, “Turn off the electricity,” film critic Guy Lodge said that viewers would have the same wish an hour into the film.
The film is based in Japan and is reportedly aims to raise awareness about environmental protection.
The plot revolves around a young married couple living in close proximity to the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant that suffered a meltdown after a 2011 tsunami.
Variety, however, said the film fails to deliver any real message and describes Kim’s efforts as “ill-researched” and criticizes him for portraying the disaster in an insensitive manner.
In addition to the film’s plot and message, the critic refers to Kim’s editing as “scrappy” and comments that other aspects of the film are “stunningly amateurish,” recommending the director follow the instructions of his movie and “Stop.”
