ALTERNATE SYNOPSIS:
Award-winning Korean director Kim Ki-Duk ("Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter...And Spring") brings us this haunting vision of two unlikely lovers trapped in Seoul's red light district. When a local pimp is publicly humiliated by a snobbish college girl, he manipulates her into a life of sexual slavery at his brothel. As he watches her nightly humiliation from behind a two-way mirror, his obsessive desire consumes him while she learns there is no love more complete than her captor's.
Kim Ki-Duk drives his characters to the edge of hair-trigger violence and despair, shattering conventional ideals of love in one of the most controversial films in recent years.
