Three…extremes (Three monsters in south korea) is a horror flick featuring 3 of the most hyped asian indy directors working today. That is Fruit Chan(Made in Hong Kong), Takashi Miike(Dead or Alive) and Chan-wook Park(Old boy).The film is divided in three segments each one directed by one of those guys. Dumpling is Fruit Chan’s, Cut is Chan-wook Park’s and Box is Miike’s. Apparently Fruit Chan has also made a director’s cut out of her segment called Dumpling: Three…Extremes. Heroic-cinema.com has a review of Three..extremes, but not of the Dumpling: three…extremes which has a review in lovehkfilm.com.
And it’s not over until i say so ! So keep reading.
Now Three…extrremes is actually a sequel to a film called Three or San Geng(probably korean), released in 2002. Three was based on the same idea of getting three asian directors on the same horror flick. Unfortunately there was no japanese director to be found on Three so i won’t talk further about it. Yes, it’s not cinema.3won.com ok, it’s 3yen and i already have enough trouble keeping with japanese related movie news not to care about what’s happening in South Korea. It’s over hyped anyway.
Three…extremes on the other hand seems quite interesting, but it hasn’t been released in Japan yet so i didn’t see it.
Moviesonline.ca claims to have the trailer for two of the segments of Three…extremes but i didn’t get them to read properly maybe you’ll have more luck.
