Saam gaang yi (2004)

Kyoko is a successful writer who suffers from insomnia due to her nightmares. Her nightmares always seem to end the same way each time with never a real ending. One day, her editor and friend gives her a antique box which Kyoko recognizes from her past. The box soon opens up an old traumatic childhood experience which is also the key to her nightmares - and her dead baby twin sister . . .

CUT

A successful director (Lee Byeong Heon) finishes a shoot and drives home one night. Upon arriving home, his electricity seems to fail and as he goes to check out the light switches, holding only a cigarette lighter in hand, he is knocked out after someone blows a can of hairspray against the flame. As he awakens, he finds that his wife (who is a pianist) is also captured, strung up and her fingers super-glued to the keys on the piano. His capturer appears to be a disgruntled, psychotic film extra who is envious of his talent and wealth. The culprit apparently also captured a little girl and tells the director that he must kill the girl to save his wife and with every five minutes of debate, he will cut off one finger on her hand unless the director kills the kid. Of course, nothing is what it ever really seems . . .

Miike shows considerable restraint in this visually stunning and morose fairy tale, blanketing the film in the duality of deep reds set against a harsh winter backdrop. The film as an illustration of resentment works as deeply on a visceral level as on avisual one.
