Director / Writer: Kim Ki-duk

The male protagonist has just ended a relationship, but in fact, he is still very infatuated with his ex-girlfriend.
He accidentally saw his ex-girlfriend's car during the outing, so he subconsciously chased after it, but accidentally had a car accident at the intersection.
In the face of the driver who climbed out of the car to ask for help, the town of the perpetrator was indifferent, only thinking of catching up with his ex-girlfriend as soon as possible, but the car had just started, and it almost hit the drunkard on the road again.
When the danger arose, the town woke up from the dream, only to find that the collision of cars and people was just a dream of his own. But because the dream is too real, Zhen can't help but get up and go to the scene of the car accident in the dream to see it.
Surprisingly, when the town reached the intersection in the dream, there was indeed a car accident there, and from the police, the town learned that the vehicle that caused the accident was the car he drove in the dream.
But the cameras showed that the owner of the car and the driver at the time were not the town, but a woman named Lan.
Lan argued that he was sleeping and knew nothing about the crash, but the broken front cover, the hot engine and the camera photos made Lan puzzled.
At this time, Zhen, who has been paying attention to the case, stepped forward, saying that he had hit someone in a dream, all of which was his responsibility, and asked Lan if he had night wandering.
Lan completely broke down after hearing this question, it turned out that she had indeed suffered from nocturnal paralysis since breaking up with her ex-boyfriend, and always did something completely unmearable without her own consciousness.
Under the inquiry of Lan's psychologist, it was found that the original town's ex-girlfriend and Lan's ex-boyfriend are currently in a relationship, because of this reason, Lan and the town have formed a community of destiny, and one side's dream will be implemented by the other party.
It's just that Zhen has no feelings for his ex-girlfriend and always dreams of going to her, but Lan is extremely disgusted with her ex-boyfriend and does not want to appear in front of him again, so the two have a disagreement.
In order not to let sleepwalking happen again, Lan thought of a way, that is, the two did not fall asleep at the same time, which also triggered a series of funny things.
For example, when Lan sleeps, Zhen can only use tape to stick to his upper and lower eyelids, or use a pin to prick his head. When it was the town's turn to sleep, Lan also used his hands to desperately open his eyes to prevent himself from falling asleep.
But in the end, the two accidentally fell asleep at the same time, and this time, Lan even had a relationship with her ex-boyfriend without her own consciousness, which made both Zhen and Lan miserable.
In order to get rid of this pain, Lan Hezhen decided to follow the doctor's advice and try to love each other to get in touch with the bondage of the community of destiny. So the two of them went to the temple together, prayed on the stones, and kissed in the car.
Lan fell asleep in the car, in order to prevent her from sleepwalking, Zhen handcuffed himself and Lan together before going to sleep, and as soon as he fell asleep, he uncuffed himself in the dream and went looking for his ex-girlfriend again, when he saw his ex-girlfriend and Lan's ex-boyfriend lingering on the bed, Zhen angrily handcuffed the man in the dream.
The awakened town finds that the car has driven outside the ex-girlfriend's house, and Len is missing. At this time, the shouts of her ex-girlfriend came from the house, and Zhen rushed in to see that Lan was lying asleep next to her ex-boyfriend, but the man next to her had already been smashed by the handcuffs on her hands.
Lan was imprisoned for this, and in order to stop letting Lan sleepwalk, he scratched his head with a knife, smashed his feet with a hammer, just did not let himself sleep, and finally even thought of death, jumped down from the bridge, and landed on the frozen river.
Lan also lost faith in life and hanged herself in prison, but after she died, she turned into a butterfly, flew to the side of the town lying on the river, and became a person again, and the two hands were tightly clasped together.
The style of the whole film is dark but aesthetic, a bit of a dark feeling.
However, the overall story is too absurd and has lost its practical significance, and many people have bluntly said that there is a suspicion of moaning and moaning, which makes people think that Kim Ki-duk is deliberately showing off his skills.
But from an artistic point of view, the camera switching in the film, the composition of the picture does show the level of the master.
Interested friends can go and see.
