My God (film)

My God (film) is a 2017 South Korean documentary film directed by Kim Ki-duk. The film offers an intimate and personal look into Kim Ki-duk's own spiritual journey and self-reflection. Often described as autobiographical, the documentary explores themes of faith, doubt, suffering, and redemption.

The film primarily features Kim Ki-duk himself as the subject, presenting a raw and often unflattering portrayal of the director's inner turmoil. He contemplates his past actions, his relationship with religion, and the consequences of his artistic choices. The documentary is largely composed of self-recorded footage and monologues, providing a direct and unfiltered glimpse into Kim Ki-duk's psyche.

Critical reception of My God was mixed. Some praised its honesty and vulnerability, while others found it self-indulgent and lacking in narrative cohesion. The film stands as a unique and controversial work within Kim Ki-duk's filmography, offering a stark contrast to his more conventionally structured narratives. It serves as a testament to the director's willingness to experiment with form and content, even at the risk of alienating audiences.
