THREE EXTREMES
(Japan/Hong Kong/South Korea, 2004) Dir.: Miike Takashi, Fruit Chan,
Park Chan-wook; Scr.: Lilian Lee, Park Chan-wook, Haruko Fukushima
A retired actress longing to retain her beauty seeks the rejuvenating
effects of a doctorís ìspecialî dumplings, only
to discover they contain one horrifying ingredient. A film director
is abducted by a vengeful stranger and forced to make an impossible
choice that will change his life forever. A beautiful female novelist,
still guilt-ridden over the childhood death of her twin sister,
receives a mysterious invitation to meet at the site of her sisterís
demise. Exploring the outer limits of the macabre, THREEÖEXTREMES
is a bracing triptych of horror stories uniting three of East Asiaís
most compelling directorsóJapanese cult figure Takashi Miike,
Hong Kongís Fruit Chan, and Koreaís award-winning
Park Chan-Wook. Using distinctive cinematic styles that span dream-like
minimalism, savage comedy and baroque horror, these cutting-edge
directors penetrate the dark heart of desire, examining the ghastly
urges that transform ordinary people into monsters. Stylish, twisted
and laced with haunting imagery, THREEÖEXTREMES breaks the
bounds of genre cinema, confirming the visionary talent of three
master directors.
