The Birdcage Inn
dir. Ki-duk Kim
1998

Early Ki-duk Kim. Interesting premise and characters, but less-than-stellar acting and direction. There were several scenes that played out like a bad after school special about abstinence.

Still, The Birdcage Inn has many of the ingredients found in Ki-duk Kim's later films. In fact, he followed it with The Isle, a much more skillful and mature film.
