Zuletzt habe ich einen koreanischen Film mit dem englischen Titel My Right To Ravage Myself gesehen. War teilweise echt verstörend, aber dennoch sehr interessant. Hier mal eine kleine Inhaltsbeschreibung.
Written and directed by Jeon Soo Il, My Right To Ravage Myself provides a startling, yet curiously insightful look into the hearts and minds of people who'd rather end it all than go on living their lives. Jeong Bo Seok (from Don't Tell Papa and Everybody Has Secrets) stars as the enigmatic "S", a writer who just so happens to moonlight as a "suicide designer" – a man who assists willing participants in committing suicide in whatever manner they please. When a young barmaid inexplicably kills herself, her taxi driver boyfriend (Kim Young Min) embarks on a dogged amateur investigation to figure out just what went wrong. His quest eventually leads him to suspect that the mystery man known only as "S" may have helped in his beloved's untimely demise. Meanwhile, after realizing the limits of her artistic dreams, Mara (Choo Sang Mi from Everybody Has Secrets) contemplates taking drastic measures. But will she choose the same fate?
While the film was adapted from Kim Young Ha's similarly-titled novel, I Have the Right to Ravage Myself, filmmaker Jeon Soo Il expands the singular point of view utilized in the book to include a multiplicity of perspectives, concentrating on the psychological motivations of several conflicted souls tempted by the prospect of an "aesthetically pleasing" suicide. Chosen to screen at the 7th Pusan International Film Festival and featuring a supporting performance from Jang Hyeon Seong (from Feather in the Wind and Springtime), My Right To Ravage Myself is a film that provides added insight into the emptiness, alienation, and bitter loneliness of modern existence.
