Dream (2008)

AKA: Bi-Mong

Director: Kim Ki-duk

Premise:
A man discovers his dreams are directly linked to a woman's sleepwalking.

My Take:
I'm a big fan of director Kim Ki-duk. His movies are always interesting and many of them have horror elements while not actually being in the realm of horror. This movie, at it's core, is a love story but odd one as these two people try to figure out why they are linked. It leads to both having a fragile mental state and self mutilation before they find redemption. It's a unique movie even if I thought the character's actions were a tad silly and not thought out.

Rating: In the middle
