Kim Ki-Duk proves himself to be an expert at quickly shifting affective registers - comedy to melodrama to suspense - with compelling aggression. Certainly more dialogue-driven than his combined previous work, his figures here attack the film's corporeal conceit with often frightening gusto. A disturbing study of the central tension in any romantic relationship: the dangerous dialectic between the promise of novelty and the exhaustion of familiarity.
