Award-winning director Kim Ki-duk has built up an international reputation with his films that starkly differ from other mainstream movies in Korea and elsewhere. He stands out largely because of his provocative styles and thought-provoking themes. In the film “Dream” Kim tells the story about the main characters (played by Joe Odagiri & Lee Na-young) who are connected through dreams in a way that blurs reality and fantasy.

Jin wakes up from a nightmare of a traffic accident. It drives him to the very spot where a real accident took place. He follows the police to the suspect’s home and watches as Ran denies the hit-and-run accusation since she was asleep the entire night. Jin explains his dream to them and asks to be charged instead. The police dismiss him and arrest Ran. Jin is convinced that there’s an unexplainable connection between the two. They discover that when he dreams, she acts out his dream in her sleep. - - Hancinema

The key proposition of the movie is that the two main characters are connected through dreams in a way that blurs the boundary between reality and fantasy. And a butterfly emerges as the core image symbolizing the significance of dreams. In fact, this metaphor comes from a well-known ancient Chinese thinker, and its implication is rather straightforward: A person may dream about his life and discovers that it's just a dream when he wakes up, but how can he be sure about the possibility that what seems the reality is also another dream?

Director Kim's presentation of dream's implication, however, is far from straightforward. The subplots, for instance, seem utterly confusing. Jin used to have his girlfriend, but the relationship is now over. But he finds himself dreaming about his former girlfriend and he vaguely senses that he still loves her. While Jin is struggling in his dreams, Ran is visiting her former boyfriend, not in her dream but while sleeping because she is a somnambulist. She hates the man deeply and when she realizes what she has done at night, she gets mad at Jin, the man whose dream goes in lockstep with her nightly visits.

To resolve the situation, Jin and Ran attempt to do the almost impossible: no sleep at night. The assumption is that if Jin does not sleep, Ran does not have to walk around in her sleep. Jin can also sleep without his much-dreaded dream that generates real events in dream when Ran is awake.

Their struggle to stay awake is, as some of director Kim's fans might correctly predict, depicted in a gruesome manner. Self-inflicted torture abounds on the screen, which will make the audiences twist and turn in their seats.

The movie's dramatic intensity accelerate at a precarious pace when the two character's former lovers, played by Park Ji-ah and Kim Tae-hyeon, join a crucial scene where four people shout at each other, trying to reverse what has already happened. At this point, it is no longer possible to identify where the reality starts and where the fantasy ends. All the conflicting elements get mixed up while the characters go through an enormous amount of pain and suffering.

One hint about director Kim's message is the peculiar existence of Jin. Japanese actor Odagiri plays the role in Japanese, while all the other characters speak in Korean. Strangely enough, Jin communicates perfectly with other Koreans even though he continues to speak in Japanese. His otherworldly identity that gets to go beyond the language barrier is certainly unrealistic, but director Kim leaves more questions than answers about his new cinematic dreamland that is depressingly desolate. - - ( Yang Sung-jin – Koreaherald )
