Director Kim Ki Duk Dies of COVID-19 at 59 Hui Jin is a young and beautiful woman who doesn't speak. She rents floating fishing cottages on the lake, but everyone doesn't come only to fishing. Some criminals live there also, but it doesn't bother Hui Jin since she's the only one who has a boat on the lake. Some also come only to satisfy their sexual needs since Hui Jin sells her body during the night. One day, a man named Hyeon Shik appears and wants to rent a cottage but not for fishing; he wants to kill himself. Edit Translation

What the author had in mind?
First thing first: trigger warning for real animal cruelty. Damn 2000's was a different time for this movie to be able to exist. It's mostly fish, but they are not that nice towards dog, bird and frog either...This movie is kind of hypnotising - you cannot stop watching not matter how gross and weird it gets. You question everything and yet you don't hit that pause button. I think the depth of that movie is hidden deep down in the mind of the author. Is this deep symbolism, or is it a shallow pretentious symbolism? I don't know.
The movie has little to no dialogue and yet it was directed in a way I did understand easily what was going on and what the characters were thinking and feeling (it was all fucked up, but I could grasp it). It's a story of two broken people becoming more broken and more fucked up.
The acting was great, not gonna lie. Seo Jung as Hee Jin was simply disturbing.
Overall... that was quite an experience and I don't think I know even one person I would recommend this movie to.
