Synopsis
18-year-old secondary-school student Y has decided to lose her virginity. Her friend Woori is in love with a 38-year-old sculptor named J but doesn’t have the courage to make contact with him. Desiring to help her friend, Y calls J to arrange something for Woori. But J’s voice gets Y so excited that she makes a date with him herself. The film depicts J and Y’s passionate, sadomasochistic relationship which eventually grows into a fatal obsession. Director Jang Sun Woo says that after reading the book Tell Me a Lie, banned in Korea shortly thereafter, he didn’t have the slightest desire to turn it into a film and accepted the project only at the insistence of his producer. Most of the sexual practices described in the book were completely foreign to the director. The author of the novel, Jang Jung Il, was sentenced to six months imprisonment for writing Tell Me a Lie. It was Korea’s first case in which an author was prosecuted for pornography. Lies premiered at the Venice IFF in 1999.
About the director
Lies Korean Film
Jang Sun Woo, the well-known enfant terrible of Korean film, is best known as the director of Timeless Bottomless Bad Movie (1997, Critics’ Prize at the Tokyo IFF) and A Petal (1996). He is also responsible for writing the script for most of his films, works which differ widely both in terms of subject matter and directing style. Jang Sun Woo tries not to repeat himself at all costs, and therefore always works with different actors. And if the film is a literary adaptation he chooses the work of a different author. But he bent the rules to make Lies in that he returned to the work of controversial writer Jang Jung Il after having already used another of his works as inspiration for To You, From Me (1994). Selected filmography: The Age of Success (1988), Road to the Way Racetrack (1991), Way to Buddha, awarded the Alfred Bauer Prize at the Berlin IFF in 1993.

Lies 1999 Full Movie
Ah, sadomasochism, the gift that keeps on giving–welts, bruises, tattoos in all sorts of interesting places and that’s the theme of LIES, the latest flick from Jang Sun Woo, up until now one of my favorite directors on the world scene. But, hey, everyone slips up occasionally.
Streaming Film Korea Lies 1999
For Jang its a particularly joyless coupling of a hot-to-trot 18-year-old co-ed and a jaded 38-year-old artist with a fetish for spankings. The sex, and there is a lot of it, is clinical, graphic and mechanical. And not smoothly mechanical at that. This is sex with all the passion of a geometry proof and all the awkwardness of a junior high school dance, and yet with none of the endearing sweetness that is sometimes to found at such functions. There are grunts, there are slurps, there is rooting around, is it feeding time at the pig trough? No! Theyre having sex again!
Are the actors, who are making their screen debuts (and swan songs if there is any justice) actually doing it? With their decidedly grim expressions, they certainly couldnt look as if they were having a worse time, and I’m not sure what conclusion to draw from that. This is a porn film without the money shots or the fun, on anybody’s part. As the sounds of slapping birch branches and yelps of, well, I’m not sure what they’re yelps of, fill the theater, one’s mind wanders wistfully to Japanese filmmaker Nagisa Oshimas stylish classic THE REALM OF THE SENSES, that fabulously disturbing and haunting erotic thriller that followed a doomed couple on a sexual odyssey of obsession, madness, castration and death. Jang’s couple find little of that and what they do find takes them waaaaaaaay too long as far as audience interest or patience is concerned.
Alas, this film is so bad that it calls into question my previously held opinion of Jang. Is it possible that those earlier films, including THE LOVERS IN WOOMUK-BAEMI, were a fluke? And worse, might Korean cinema as a whole, vibrant, unselfconsciously direct, powerful in comedy and in drama, which is just now making inroads into American art houses, once again be relegated to the festival circuit as a result of the release of the morbid and sorry mess that is LIES? One hopes that the concurrent release of another Korean film, Myung-See Lee’s NOWHERE TO HIDE, an action flick with panache, if no moral compass, is enough of a balm to forestall that.
