Bad Guy R2 (Uk Import) - Ki-Duk, KimReleasedatum: 30 maart 2009
A tough gangland leader experiences love at first sight when he encounters a young college student in a crowd. With no concern for public conduct, or the desires of the girl, he forces himself upon her and kisses her in front of her boyfriend. Totally unapologetic, the man is beaten by police and left disgraced. Desperate to see her again, the man decides to return to the same place. Soon, the student reappears and she and her boyfriend go on a window shopping trip. However, her desperate lack of money leads her to commit an unfortunate crime, for which her victim demands an uncompromising, pre-planned punishment: she must work as a prostitute to pay the money back. And it's the bad guy who fell in love with her in the crowd that will be her keeper. Dark, daring and brutal, this twisted tale from Kim Ki-Duk, director of The Isle, challenges romantic ideals and breaks with conventional notions of love to deliver a powerful and controversial film.
