 Synopsis
At the end of a remote path in the forest is a lake covered with reeds. There is a fishing ground below the lake and water hotels on it. They look like "small islands" from a distance.The owner of the lake, Xizhen (Xu Qian), is a beautiful mute girl. In the morning, she drove a boat to pick up the guests from the hotel and sold fish and food to the fishermen. At night, she seduced the guests with her beauty. Many men with bad intentions died in her beauty.Hyun-sik (Kim Soo-cheol), who was once a policeman, fled to the "little island" for killing his unfaithful girlfriend. After thinking about it, he was about to swallow a gun and commit suicide. Just as he raised the gun, Hee-jin suddenly emerged from the water and inserted a sharp knife into his thigh. Hyun-sik, who could not commit suicide, felt both strange and intimate to Xi-jin.Since then, the two began to stage a crazy and fierce erotic battle in the outer world.The English translation of the video is The Isle, which means small island. Compared with island, it is much smaller in temperament.And the island's imagination in philosophy is isolation, loneliness.All the details of the film are derived in the name of loneliness."Drifting Room" is one of Kim Ki-duk's most important works and is the most representative work of his "cruel aesthetics".He retained and extended Kim Ki-duk's personal style, and used mature techniques to interpret a destructive but beautiful life and love.Play elements such as desire, cruelty, death, and symbols to the extreme.The minimalism in dialogue is also quite prominent. The protagonist is a mute girl, and the male protagonist has no dialogue. Only a few guest appearances have some dialogues."Drifting Desire Room" cares about the original form of desire: capture, slaughter, abuse, sex, and all this point: possession.
