| Mœbius (2013) | 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 | |

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. | |

Gratuitous English: All of the weird news stories that the man finds on the internet about penis transplants and masturbation via scraping yourself raw and bloody with a rock and such, are all in English. | |

Phallic Weapon | |
| Mœbius (2013) / 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 (2013) / 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 (2013) / 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. | |

Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration | |
| Mœbius (2013) / int_6c87dbef | comment |
Masturbation Means Sexual Frustration: Early in the film the wife catches her son masturbating in his room. This is what drives her to cut off her son's penis after she's unable to cut off her husband's. Later in the film, both the son (after he's castrated) and the father (after he donates his penis to his son) masturbate via rubbing themselves raw and bloody with a rough stone. Supposedly this results in a climax, and in the film at least, it works. | |

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. | |

Imagine Spot: The mother, who earlier has given her son a handjob, comes into his room again for sex—but this time it's an imagine spot from the boy, who was fantasizing while he masturbates. In reality the father has killed both himself and his mother just outside. | |
