Moebius (South Korea, 2013)

A housewife becomes enraged with jealousy over her husband's affair. Meanwhile, their son sits in the periphery, observing their violent confrontations. One evening, the housewife takes a kitchen knife into their bedroom to exact revenge on the father. The father though is able to repel her attack and throws her out of the bedroom. The mother then goes into the son's room.

Okay, what to say about this one. Other than the fact that it's completely insane, of course. Kim Ki-duk, the director, really does whatever he wants when it comes to making films, and that's just genius. Moebius has no dialogue whatsoever. None. Kim's fantastic 3-Iron (2004) had very little of it, but here it's just gone. A fact that you either love or hate. The plot is off the rails-nuts and in need of some serious therapy, but that's how I love my Kim Ki-duk movies.
