Delish!

Almost everyone wants to stay young forever. It's the reason why women pay hundreds of dollars for cremes, surgeries, books, Botox injections, and herbal remedies. Nobody can stop time, it's how nature works. If somebody where to come up with a controversial way to keep youthful beauty intact, undoubtedly hundreds of women would leave morality behind and forget the consequences.
"Dumplings," a short movie found in the "Three Extremes I" collection, tells the story of a famous actress yearning for infinite youth. In order to keep her polished complexion, she visits Mei, a sexy woman who knows a special dumplings recipe, the equivalent of "the fountain of youth."
It's not until later that the audience learns about the secret ingredient in Mei's carefully made dumplings, unborn babies. Ching's need for beauty increases with every bite. When Mei is arrested, Ching is left with two options: grow older or consume the life of the baby she carries in her womb.

Extreme Cut



Three Extremes is a collection of short movies uniquely filmed and portrayed. These are some snapshots of Chan-wook Park short, "The Cut".  
A famous director walks into his home and is abducted by an unsettled fan. When he wakes up, he finds himself tied around the waist and his wife sitting in front of a piano, an array of wire strings attached to her fingers. One incorrect word or move might leave the frantic, crying woman fingerless. The movie was called "The Cut" for a reason.
