I looking so long for this dvd and i finally have it! The beginning of the movie was very good but after 45 minutes it became very tragic and bored! First didn't know what the ending means. But thinking about it, it was really a stupid ending! But worth watching for the first part of the movie! How far girls can go to earn money! Great acting of the 2 female leaders! They were only 19 & 21 when they shoot this movie. Director Ki duk Kim won for this movie a silver berlin bear for best director at the Berlin International Film Festival.
