The Juke Box That Rocks
Directed by Hyun-il Kang. Starring: Ga Eh, Yoo-Jin Kwon, Do-Yun Kim.
A brilliant slice of Korean cinema that ranks right up there with Jodorosky’s ‘Holy Mountain’ and Reggio’s ‘Koyaanisqatsi’. A horrific fantasy drawing on the myths of Adam and Eve, Oedipus - with a dose of Zen philosophy tossed in. A male loner hides out in a hotel room plagued by hallucinations of twelve naked nymphs and nuclear annihilation. He is depressed because he lost his perfect soul mate Mago. Now the man must travel to a time before his birth to reunite with his beloved, but what he discovers is a dark secret that lurks deep in his subconscious. (79 mins)
