An anthology movie of three short horror films, Three…Extremes has been praised as a long overdue addition to a neglected genre. It screened at the 2005 Sundance Film Festival and is slated for American distribution by Lions Gate Films in the summer of 2005. One of the films in the anthology is the newest film by Korean director Chan-wook Park, Cut. It explores the revenge themes that animated his acclaimed Old Boy and Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance. Chan-wook Park is quickly becoming one of Korea’s best known directors internationally; he is the subject of a BAMcinematek retrospective scheduled for March.
Box, directed by Takashi Miike of Japan, is the story of a young beauty haunted by tragic memories, and is full of evocative imagery and cinematic appeal. Fruit Chan’s Dumplings rounds out the set with a story about a woman who preserves her youthful beauty by eating dumplings with a secret ingredient.
Three…Extremes will screen at 6:30 pm on Thursday, March 17 at the Korean Cultural Service New York. Admission is free. The film is in Korean with English subtitles. RSVP suggested: (212) 759-9550. For more information or to confirm times, please visit the Korean Cultural Service New York website at www.koreanculture.org or call (212) 759-9550.
