Weird for the sake of being weird, but in contrast to more typical weird films of this era, writer/director Jeong Seung-goo makes it fairly clear that this weirdness is largely self-imposed. Go to Full Review

05/23/2016 This movie is extremely bizarre. If you don't like dark things I would steer clear. However, if you like psychological movies with a disturbing edge, you may like it. What's super intriguing about the movie is the fact that the main character is schizophrenic, which makes it very difficult to decipher what is real in the movie and what is not. Amazing acting by Jang Hyuk. See more 09/10/2010 De locos, para pasar el rato y dormir un poco See more 07/03/2010 irritante. e come al solito il mio preferito muore. See more 06/03/2010 the scandal does not match the film. poor acting and poor plot. See more 03/14/2010 Davvero imprevedibile questo psicodramma fusion, sempre incline alla mescolanza di generi, di tematiche, di registri. Destruttura programmaticamente la narrazione in una caleidoscopica vetrina di stile e glamour, sesso e sangue, amori fedifraghi e odii fraterni. L'indagine psicologica dei personaggi ha degli esiti altalenanti, ma la regia può contare su parecchi punti di forza, tra i quali lo spiazzante alternarsi di sogni-desideri e realtà. Penalizza il tutto l'abuso di sfarzo, fashionismo e belloccioni. Da segnalare la defunta Jang Ja-yeon in una parte lugubremente anticipatoria della sua fine. See more Read all reviews
