A harrowing portrait of love and desire, BAD GUY is situated deep in Seoul's seedy nightlife. Differing strains of the story follow various people inexorably caught up in an underground existence that exercises a vice-like grip over their every action; a pimp forces a prostitute to live in her booth, then falls in love with her by watching her activities behind a two-way mirror; a murderer seeks solace in a quite lakeside retreat, then meets a prostitute who works there. These stories come together in director Kim Ki-Duk's (THE ISLE) emotional feature, which shines a painful, unflinching light on some of society's darker characters.
