There
are two vastly different opinions regarding Korean director Nam Gee Woong
and his films (TEENAGE
HOOKER WHO DIED AND BECAME A KILLING MACHINE IN DAEHAKROH, et
al). The late critic David Aaron Clark called him "an amazing
Pop Culture genius" while James Kilroy wrote " an insane man
with a movie camera making incomprehensible nonsense." Of course,
the truth probably lies somewhere in between. But this latest opus from
Mr Nam is truly a sight to behold, never to be forgotten.
The story
- purposely poised in an absurd setting - is about Hwang Soo-yeon, the
younger brother of a 'beast-man' named Taeyeon. It's also possible that
Taeyeon doesn't exist at all, merely a figment of Soo-yeon's mind. There's
also a sister, dressed in sexy vinyl, who is more a muse for Soo-yeon
than a sibling (she also becomes his sex partner later in the film). This
family and their mom have a country house where someone dumps dead animals
on the kitchen table but the real plot deals with a group of gangsters
who get angry at Soo-yeon when he orders two eggs for his soup
at a noodle stall. They smash his fingers. He manages to take revenge
with an operation that transforms his penis into a gadget that shoots
bullets when he ejaculates (see pic, upper left).
