Moebius | |
Mœbius | comment |
Moebius is a 2013 drama directed by Kim Ki-duk.A wife, overwhelmed with hatred for her adulterous husband, inflicts an unspeakable wound on their son as the family heads towards horrific destruction. The film is told without any spoken dialogue.Don't confuse it with the Argentinian movie of the same name where a train on the Buenos Aires subway system suddenly vanishes. | |

Rape as Drama | |
Mœbius / int_12dd1d4c | comment |
Rape as Drama: The mistress is gang-raped at her place of work (a convenience store) by the group of thugs that the son has taken up with. The son fakes penetrating the mistress in order to hide his mutilation from his new friends. | |

Phallic Weapon | |
Mœbius / int_303079ba | comment |
Phallic Weapon: About as obvious as this trope ever gets. Among the sadomasochistic ways that one can supposedly get sexual pleasure is by the friction of a knife in the body after one gets stabbed. So the mistress stabs the son in the shoulder, then, by grabbing the handle of the knife and wiggling it back and forth, stimulates the son to climax. | |

Significant Double Casting | |
Mœbius / int_48c24da4 | comment |
Significant Double Casting: The same actress, Lee Na-ra, plays both the wife and the mistress. This is thematically appropriate considering the film's themes of sexual obsession and incest. | |

Bloody Hilarious | |
Mœbius / int_6023a9bc | comment |
Bloody Hilarious: Your mileage may vary as to how much of this film is disturbing and how much of it is over-the-top comedy. But the scene where the gang leader's freshly severed penis is tossed out into the street, and he cries out in despair as it is repeatedly run over by trucks, is obviously meant as gory farce. | |

Mœbius / int_798a9e41 | comment |
Auto Erotica: After the husband meets the mistress for dinner they have sex in his car in the parking lot. It's not very sexy, since both the son and the wife have separately found them there and are watching. | |

The Loins Sleep Tonight: The son's newly transplanted penis won't get erect when he watches porn, or when the mistress tries manual and oral stimulation, which isn't that surprising. But it does work for his mom... | |

Mœbius / int_dea5fe1 | comment |
Kubrick Stare: Right after the wife cuts the son's penis off, the husband gestures for her to give him the knife. She gives him a truly scary sideways Kubrick Stare (also shown on the film's poster) and then eats her son's penis. | |
