Shock cinema

fred, ever seen anything by Kim Ki-Duk (I'm checking out now, so I'll read your reply maybe in a few days)? Check out The Isle. Beautiful looking film, about a vacation lake resort where the vacationers rent a boat cabin and just sit there, floating days on end, either fishing or playing cards. A beautiful woman runs the place and rides out to them in a little motorboat, with food or cigarettes or odd knicknacks, sometimes a prostitute or two. Sometimes she throws in her services, for a fee.

I think it's an interesting commentary on man-woman relations, by a really sick mind.

Watch out for the fishhooks.
