There's not much here, certainly, for fans of American yank 'n' spank tape loops: Jang's adaptation of Jung Il-Chang's (also banned) novel about the relationship between a 38-year-old sculptor and his teenage paramour is clearly a concentrated spit in the eye to the South Korean censors, but at its heart it's a love story, albeit one with a sadomasochistic bent. Its curious structure and neo-neo-realistic approach to storytelling gets it off the porno hook, though - there's more going on than simple bedroom antics. It's a film so filled with sex and violence that many critics have derided it as nothing short of hardcore porn. However, the film still turned out to be too explicit and its screening was banned in South Korea.It may be banned in its native South Korea, but I'd be willing to bet that the North's leader Kim Jong II, a man with a well known passion for Western films and risqué subject matter, has already gotten his hands on a bootleg copy of Sun-Woo Jang's Lies. The Director, Jang sung-Woo, made corrections to the censorship when editing the picture: the genitals that fell into the frame were cut out without regret. People with sensitive minds will clearly be shocked not only by the authors ' imagination, but also by how convincingly the actors play it all out. The film is divided into three parts and has the unpleasant name "Holes", according to the number of" holes " in the female body.Įach Chapter, slowly but surely brings the viewer to the main episode, according to the Director's idea, from which the ordinary viewer can turn on the wrong side. The camerawork was to show everything outrageously and openly, but at the same time, I tried not to show close-UPS of the naked parts of the actors ' bodies and the sexual act itself in all details. Which leads to a very peculiar and not unambiguous ending: each of the characters simply uses the other and loses interest, throws the other, as if an unnecessary thing. The pain that brings pleasure becomes their new hobby, which they begin to deliver to each other with great pleasure.
In place of shyness, comes emancipation, which erases the boundaries of what is allowed, raising the enjoyment to a new level.īut over time, everything starts to get boring and in search of new sensations, the characters begin to experiment with their own sexuality, not knowing how far they can go. Passion and love, which become stronger after each " bed " date, open for Y, a new world of pleasure, to which she gives herself completely. It was he who Y chose as the one who would perform the act of defloration with her. J is a middle-aged man, married, and works as a sculptor. The plot of the film revolves not only around the study of sexual possibilities and limits of a person, but also the unwitting expansion of sexual taboos of the viewer.Īn eighteen-year-old schoolgirl named Y, who is afraid of being raped, like her two older sisters, dreams of losing her virginity by consent before she finishes school. The film is a popular, fashionable trend-radical art porn. "Lies" was no exception, although it raised a serious wave of discussions about its scandalous and Frank content. In General, many of his films received awards at prestigious festivals and received positive reviews from critics. "Lies" is the creation of South Korean Director Jang Seong-Woo, which became his penultimate film. "Lies" -a drama in the style of pornorealism (the definition of film critics), from the Director Jang Song-Woo.
