If you loved Mujer de fuego, try Insect Woman
Un puente entre una película que ya has visto y una que casi nadie ha cruzado. Esto es lo que comparten, y lo que la segunda hace que la primera no hace.
Lo que comparten
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 Mujer de fuego, 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.
