MOEBIUS<\/strong>
\n\ubafc\ube44\uc6b0\uc2a4 | KIM KI-DUK, 2013
\nSOUTH KOREA | FORMAT: DCP | 90 MINUTES
\nNew York Premiere<\/p>\n

A playfully twisted black comedy with no dialogue, Moebius is an everyday tale of penectomy, rape, sadomasochistic sex, and incestuous love. It continues maverick writer-director Kim Ki-duk\u2019s journey into the madness of the Korean soul\u2014though in a much more in-your-face way than last year\u2019s Piet\u00e0. Marbled with references to earlier films like The Isle (genital mutilation), Bad Guy (tough, twisted love), and Piet\u00e0 (\u201cmother\u201d love), plus numerous other titles, Moebius is a quintessentially Kim Ki-duk movie in its risk-taking and outsider feel, and could have been made by no other filmmaker currently working in the country. Words have never formed a major component of Kim\u2019s films, which reveal themselves more through physical action than dialogue. But the absence here of any words (along with any names for the characters) brings an even more allegorical, universal aspect to the movie\u2019s themes while still leaving it feeling absolutely South Korean in its emotional intensity. Moebius\u2019s sheer cheek and bravado is more than welcome at a time when South Korea\u2019s film industry has become more and more conventional, predictable, and risk-averse. Presented with the support of Korean Cultural Service in New York.<\/p>\n
