A young man, whose only possession is a motorcycle, spends his time riding around the city looking for empty apartments. After finding one, he hangs out for a while, fixing himself something to eat, washing laundry or making small repairs in return. He always tries to leave before the owners get back but in one ostensibly empty mansion he meets the abused wife of a rich man and she escapes with him.

Viewing Notes
Now having seen this, it puts MOEBIUS into a whole new light. Of course, now I wanna watch MOEBIUS.
Really dig the premise and setup. It seems very plausible. Also like the lack of dialogue between the two main characters. The big hurdle is believing that someone would not be aware of another’s presence when they are that close to them. It’s fun to see but that’s where it crosses over to being a tad corny and not as great as MOEBIUS or Kim’s other works (that I’ve seen). As humans we have a weird trait to sense when someone’s around (what makes most of THE INVISIBLE MAN 2020 effective) so when you view someone unaware or not getting that sense it’s just becomes a little cartoonish.
That said, I would absolutely recommend this and view it again. Would be nice to have a rep theater do a Kim Ki-duk retrospective.
