Very loosely based on a famous Chinese tale, Kim Ki-young’s work chronicles the movements and misdeeds of Ban Geum-ryeon, a woman withering away in a marriage to an older man. Her fate changes when the already married Moon-kyung wins a mahjong bet which nets him another man’s fortune and ten wives, with Geum-ryeon thrown in to boot. Moon-kyung is quickly infatuated with the sensual Geum-ryeon, but with many other women in the household vying for his affections, it isn’t long until the manor runs crimson. (Fantastic Fest)
