This highly
controversial film was originally completed in 1998, but it became entangled
in red tape from the Korean Ratings Board. The official word was "YELLOW
FLOWER is too obscene for general viewing" and it was denied release.
After numerous lawsuits and many petitions, the movie was finally granted
an "18+" rating in 2003.
While YELLOW
FLOWER is unique in its abstract narrative, the power of this film is
undeniable. Director Lee describes it: "the way different people
incorporate sex and sexuality into their lives by means of extremes."
