Seom (2000)
The Isle
Director : Kim Ki-Duk
Language : Korean
On a misty lake, a woman (Suh Jung) is caretaker for a fleet of houseboats, silently providing the men who hire them with fishing tackle and occasional sexual services. Drawn to a mysterious new arrival (Kim Yoo-Suk) who seems less interested in fishing or sex than in isolation itself, she interrupts his attempt to shoot himself, and soon a strange, wordless relationship develops between them. At first she spurns his sexual advances and arranges for a prostitute to visit him, but when, panicked by the arrival of police investigators at the lake, he attempts suicide again, the caretaker tends his horrific wounds and nurses him with sex - and both find themselves hooked on an intense passion which leads to jealousy, violence, mutilation and murder.
