Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Thanks to Chris Doyle's typically fluid, sensuous camerawork, this never looks less than terrific; it is, however, a little low on narrative drive as it charts four sexual/emotional encounters in a Seoul 'love hotel'. Intriguingly, the couplings involve only six characters, so that the episodes are subtly (even obscurely) linked, but while Park is clearly adept at establishing and sustaining a variety of moods, there's nothing particularly original in what he has to say about male-female relationships.
