Prolific author and enfant terrible of Korean cinema Kim Ki-duk plumbs the depths of obsessive love in Time. Kim plays with the craze for plastic surgery that has invaded our lives, as magazines and television shows such as "Extreme Makeover" have streamed together into a nightmare of eternal youth and beauty. Kim's unpredictable genius takes a fashionable issue to extremes in order to probe the dark, jealous core of a relationship gone wrong.

Attractive Seh-hee (Park Ji-yun) is having problems with her boyfriend, Ji-woo (Ha Jung-woo). After two years, their love has entered a period of weariness. Though faithful to his fiancée, Ji-woo eyes other women and, in bed, seems to get excited only at the thought of making love to other partners. Seh-hee can't cope with the mounting jealousy tainting her life and decides to dramatically change her look - to become a new woman, with whom her boyfriend can again fall in love.

She enters a plastic-surgery clinic and then vanishes for six months - long enough for the scars to heal - leaving Ji-woo hurt and confused by her disappearance. Resurfacing as the new waitress at the coffee shop Ji-woo frequents, Seh-hee - now calling herself See-hee (Sung Hyun-ah) - tries to seduce him. But between them stands the spectre of Ji-woo's lost girlfriend, with whom he is still very much in love. Jealousy once again creeps into the shaky existence Seh-hee has artificially crafted.

A clean style guides the circular syntax of this extreme tale of love. Set mostly in coffee shops and bars, where the intimacy of a lovers' discourse is shared by curious clients, Time is steeped in a quiet, disturbing violence that censors feelings and mutilates the soul through body surgery. As if trapped within a meandering, irrational mind, the script follows a complex rhythm that mirrors the obsessive tone of the film and displays once again Kim's talent for transforming high-concept ideas into incandescent cinema.

sinopsis dari: http://www.e.bell.ca/filmfest/2006/fi...asp?id=311

terjemahan indonya:
ada cowo cewe pacaran. setelah dua taon, si cewe merasa cowonya mulai ga perhatian lagi. mungkin karena bosen. cewe ini operasi plastik untuk ganti muka. ninggalin cowonya selama enam bulan tanpa kabar sama sekali.

enam bulan kemudian, luka operasi udah ilang. balik nyari cowonya. nyamar pake nama lain, mulai deh pdkt lagi.

ternyata cowonya masih kepikiran ama dia. at least dia dalam bayangan cowo tadi.

cewe ini jadi cemburu. cemburu ama diri sendiri sblom operasi plastik.
