Sinopsis: Una habitación de motel. Cuatro parejas de amantes que lo ocupan en momentos diferentes. La primera, dos jóvenes activistas políticos que se refugian después de un enfrentamiento con la policía. La segunda, unos estudiantes de cine que tienen que filmar diversas escenas de una película. La tercera, un hombre y una mujer que se conocen casualmente y tienen relaciones apasionadas bajo los efectos del alcohol. Y la cuarta, unos antiguos amantes que se reencuentran por un día.

Synopsis: Room 407 of Motel Cactus is home to all of the action in this moody, dark depiction of disconnection by first-time Korean director Ki-Yong Park. In four loosely-connected vignettes, the characters' unhappiness is expressed in a myriad of ways, with cinematographer Christopher Doyle (HERO, IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE) creating a palpably oppressive, claustrophobic feel. The first encounter occurs on a young woman's birthday, which she celebrates in the hotel with her boyfriend, where their relationship deteriorates rapidly. Next, a student has rented the room in order to shoot a short film for his class, but while waiting for the cameraman to show up, he and the actress become physically intimate. An older couple meets in a bar and repair to 407 for drunken, wild sex, only to greet a melancholy morning, while a pair of lovers discover that their much-longed-for reunion works better as fantasy than reality. Every stage of romantic, heterosexual relationships is represented in this bleakly human tale of love, loss, and alienation in a seedy love motel in Seoul.

"I don't think it's in many way foreign or non-Korean," the director told an interviewer. "In fact, it contains many moments and images which are very Korean... and which are exactly what I wanted." He may have gotten what he wanted, but for the rest of the world Motel Cactus (winner of the New Currents Award at the 1997 Pusan Film Festival) may leave a very different kind of yearning. -- Eddie Cockrell
