Jean-Marc Leblanc is a depressed civil servant fed up with his meaningless existence. Each new day presents the same tedious routine as the day before. To escape the crushing boredom that is his life, Jean-Marc turns to a fantasy world where he is the imaginary hero in an array of extraordinary adventures. In this dark comedy from one of Canada's best directors, we see that sometimes fantasy is just as important as reality.

November 21 | South Korea, 2003 | 120min | Chan-wook Park | DVD | R
It would be a sin to reveal too much about this riveting and bizarre thriller from Korean director Chan Wook Park, except to say that it's about a man named Dae-Su who is locked in a hotel room for 15 years without knowing his captor's motives. When he is finally released, Dae Su finds himself still trapped in a web of conspiracy and strangeness. His own quest for vengeance becomes tied in with romance when he falls for an attractive sushi chef (Gang Hye-Jung), who feeds him live octopus and who may or may not be involved with the bizarre mystery. There are intense fight scenes (Dae Su's favorite weapon is a hammer), look-away moments of torture and self-mutilation, sex, and gallons of black humor. Not for the squeamish, but for those seeking something wholly original and daring, this cinematic entree is alive--it's hard to imagine a better slice of psycho-shock sensationalism.
