Beasts of Prey (DVD) (Korea Version) DVD Region All

A classic by late Korean master Kim Ki Young, the 1984 social drama Beasts of Prey (a.k.a. Carnivorous Animals) revolves around a man who develops an inferiority complex over his wife's successful business. Robbed of his role as the main breadwinner, he starts up an affair to ease his ego, but ends up in a bigger bind financially trying to maintain two households. While he spirals into despair and depression, his wife and mistress pragmatically decide to share their hubby.

Born in 1919, acclaimed director Kim Ki Young grew up in Pyongyang and spent a good amount of his adulthood in Japan where he studied theater and film. In 1960, he presented The Housemaid, a disturbing psychological drama which is still voted by critics as one of the best Korean films of all time. After releasing a string of well-received films such as Chungnyeo and Ieoh Island in the 70s, Kim acquired a new interest for B-movies which got him off the mainstream market. But by the early 90s, Kim's work began to catch the attention of some diehard fans of Korean cult films, resulting in the revival of Kim's career including special screenings at numerous international film festivals. Unfortunately in 1998, Kim and his wife were killed in a house fire. Nonetheless, his legend continues in particular through many of his younger colleagues such as Kim Ki Duk, Bong Joon Ho, and Park Chan Wook who cite Kim as their great mentor.

< 줄거리 >
가정과 회사에서 소외감에 시달리던 동식은 호스테스와 관계를 갖게 되고 그녀를 정부로 삼는다. 하지만 소심한 그의 성격은 부인 눈치를 보느라 또 다른 갈등을 낳고, 부인과 정부의 서로에 대한 질투심은 갈수록 심해진다. 결국, 부인은 정부에게 하루의 절반씩을 나누어 그를 차지하자는 제안을 한다. 무기력에 빠진 동식은 이 제안에 따르지만 정신적으로 거세당한 그의 삶은 그녀들의 소유욕에 의해 점점 기이한 방식으로 변해가고 만다. 정부가 그의 아이를 낳고 싶어 하자 부인은 그에게 강제로 정관수술을 받게 하고, 이 사실을 알게 된 정부는 그를 가위로 찌르고, 집에 불을 지른다.
