Breathless

Thursday, June 25 - Thursday, July 2, 2009

From its first screamed obscenity to its last blow to the head, this is the most savage and obscene movie we’ve ever screened. Coming out of nowhere, star/writer/producer/co-director Yang Ik-June took top prizes at the Rotterdam Film Festival with this brutal dissection of male violence. “I want to say f–k you to the world with my films,” Yang says but this flick oozes regret with every beat of its black-and-blue heart.
