THREE EXTREMES (2006)

PARK CHAN-WOOKMIIKE TAKASHIFRUIT CHAN

Plot

A collection of three short(ish) films from three masters of asian extreme cinema. Fruit Chan gives us the 40 minute short that inspired his feature 'Dumplings', a gastronic nightmare about eternal youth and Aunt Mai's special recipe dumplings. Park Chan-Wook's Cut follows the story of a film extra with a serious grudge against a director who is just too 'nice', and Mike Takashi presents a bizarre tale, told with very little dialogue, about a woman haunted by a childhood trauma. A good showcase for their talents although not the best any of the directors have to offer.
