Motel Cactus

Room 407 of Motel Cactus is home to all of the action in this moody, dark depiction of disconnection by first-time Korean director Ki-Yong Park. In four loosely-connected vignettes, the characters' unhappiness is expressed in a myriad of ways, with cinematographer Christopher Doyle (HERO, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE) creating a palpably oppressive, claustrophobic feel. The first encounter occurs on a young woman's birthday, which she celebrates in the hotel with her boyfriend, where their relationship deteriorates rapidly. Next, a student has rented the room in order to shoot a short film for his class, but while waiting for the cameraman to show up, he and the actress become physically intimate. An older couple meets in a bar and repair to 407 for drunken, wild sex, only to greet a melancholy morning, while a pair of lovers discover that their much-longed-for reunion works better as fantasy than reality. Every stage of romantic, heterosexual relationships is represented in this bleakly human tale of love, loss, and alienation in a seedy love motel in Seoul.
