If you loved Woman of Fire, try Insect Woman

Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.

Was sie teilen

Both films are directed by Kim Ki-young, and they both carry the dread, slow burn mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Horror territory. If that's the register that drew you to Woman of Fire, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Insect Woman is

Seoul, early spring, rustling silk. Naive Myung-ja ascends to hostess work, then takes the scholar Lee as her lover, all under the watch of Lee’s calculating wife. Soon, the women settle into a bizarre domesticity. Kim's lurid melodrama anticipates later Bong Joon-ho.
