A husband. A wife. Their son. The atmosphere at home is ice cold – the husband distracted by an affair with a young woman, the wife sick of her husband's debauchery, and the teenage son indifferent to them both. Overwhelmed with hatred, the wife attempts to remove from the husband the organ driving his desires; thwarted, she instead takes out the violent act on the son and then disappears into the night. At the hospital, the husband is distraught with guilt, severing his own manhood in solidarity and setting out to recover his son's happiness, sacrificed to his parents' conflict. Disfigured in such a radical way, the son slowly deviates from normal life, even falling for the husband's young mistress as the husband discovers strange and severe ways to help his son find pleasure again. With both husband and son damaged and living in grief, the wife returns as the family heads towards destruction even more horrific than before.


Kim Ki-Duk's low budget video, dialog free, Buddhist penectomy-heavy familial gender study is uniquely transgressive and totally unprecedented in the history of cinema. It's also very funny at times. The poster reads "I am the father, the mother is I, and the mother is the father" suggesting ideas within of what exactly makes a man or woman in the modern world. If you are familiar with Ki-Duk's work you will probably love this heavy duty slice of poetic insanity. If not you may be scarred by this one as it contains gang rape, incest, murder, and severed penises. The film's take on pleasure & pain / love & violence is one that demands contemplation. The teenager in this- Young Ju Seo deserves an Oscar for his work. The shots of the crazy mother are amazing. This is a portrait of one kid's spiritual journey through the most dysfunctional family ever committed to celluloid that will likely stay with you for a long time. Highly recommended essential artistry.
