'' Beautiful '' premiered at the Panorama section of the 58th Berlin International Film Festival , and won the Grand Prix at the 2008 Fukuoka Asian Film Festival . Kim , who produced the film , said " it was good . " '' Beautiful '' displayed artistic sensibilities and thematic trappings that are automatically identified with Kim , such as explicit expressions of fascination and loathing with the human body , and an examination of ethics and morality through violence . Local critics gave Juhn the nickname " Little Kim Ki-duk " or " Kim Ki-duk Two , " but he said the comparisons to his mentor did n't bother him , since he was " still young and have much to learn . " Juhn said when he came back from Berlin , " '' Beautiful '' opened on three screens and disappeared after two weeks . I felt like a loser . " Despite his debut film having been invited to international film festivals , Juhn struggled without new projects in Korea
