A pathological case study disguised as a romantic melodrama.

A harrowing, weirdly funny and highly existential melodrama.

This is powerful stuff, so why does the movie feel less convincing the longer it goes on? There are two ways to tell this story -- coolly distanced or melodramatically hot -- but [director] Kim combines both approaches, and the mixture doesn't congeal.

As tautly 'pretty' and inexpressive as the results for those who compulsively seek cosmetic perfection.

It’s a strange and subtly told tale that successfully hacks into the desires and fears of most us who are trying to figure out how to make love work -- without sewing it all back together into a nice, pretty package.

For some, the film will be a tedious experience, while for others it will raise disquieting questions.

An uncanny and thoroughly creepy nip-yuck nightmare about plastic surgery and identity.

An exuberant, if cautionary, tale of love and plastic surgery.

An unnerving riff on South Korean women fixated on the idea of ul-jjang ('best face').

Throughout Time, Kim Ki-duk flips between soapy melodrama and dry, self-aware comedy. The effect is thrilling and disorienting, like walking on a trampoline.

A truly unpredictable film and you watch it transfixed by its singular peregrinations and the fatalistic determination of the monumentally wrong-headed Se-heui.

A mesmerizing film by South Korean director Kim Ki-Duk about cosmetic surgery and the yearning of those who put their faith in external physical changes to their bodies.

In addition to statements about urban anonymity and the cult of beauty, writer-director Kim is also making a mordant statement about love, the kind you can get lost in while losing yourself.

With a wry tone all his own (the writer-director calls his thesis 'absurd'), South Korea's Kim Ki-duk asks in his calmly assured spellbinder a simple question: How far can we go to transform who we think we are?
