Description
Controversial film by Korean director Kim Ki-duk about the twisted relationship between a college student-turned-prostitute and her mute gangland pimp. When Han-ki *(Jo Jae-Hyeon),* the silent but brutally violent leader of a gang in Seoul's red light district,* glimpses a pretty young student,* Sun-hwa *(Seo Won),* in a crowd,* he becomes instantly obsessed with her and kisses her without asking her permission in front of her boyfriend. Completely unapologetic,* he is beaten by the police for the assault,* but this doesn't stop him stalking her on a shopping trip with her boyfriend. When Sun-hwa gets caught stealing,* Han-ki seizes his opportunity to force her into prostiitution. He watches through a one-way mirror as she suffers excrutiating cruelty and abuse from a string of brutal clients,* and the film charts her decline into humiliation,* degradation and ultimate ruin. Whether the film depicts a poignant,* twisted love between the two very damaged central characters,* or an outrageously offensive glamourisation of gratuitous torture and abuse,* is an ongoing debate among feminists and critics.
