3 extremes brings together three Asian fantasy films:
In Fruit Chan’s New Kitchen, Ms. Ching Lee, a former Hong Kong star in her 40s, tries steamed ravioli from Mei, a former medical worker, to get younger, even if it means paying a high price. In Park Chan-wook’s Cut!, a director who is as acclaimed by audiences as he is by critics finds himself in the grips of a madman who offers him a terrifying choice: kill a child or have his wife’s fingers cut off one by one. In Takashi Miike’s The Box, a successful novelist leads a solitary life, behind which lies a dark secret. A secret that her publisher would like to discover, who does not seem to be insensitive to the young woman’s charm.
