Kim ki duk's new movie "Dream"(2008)

I got a chance to watch kim ki duk's new movie Dream (Bi-mong). The new film(15th) will, as in many of KIM's previous works, distort the boundaries between reality and dream. The story revolves around a man and his dreams. One day he dreams that he caused a car accident. He goes to the place where the dream occurred, and surprisingly finds that an actual hit-and-run accident has occurred there, and that the police have traced it to a woman with a sleepwalking disorder. Later he finds that there is an unexplainable connection between the two. They discover that when ever he dreams, the woman acts out his dream in her sleep. So they came to an agreement-they will not sleep at the same time. But it is too difficult to do so. Tragedy is waiting at the corner….. Even though the film has an interesting storyline, Kim ki duk fails to convert it into a unforgettable viewing experience (like his previous films-Time and Breath). Also "Kim ki dukian twist" is missing in this film. I can almost predict the climax of the movie.Visually it is not appealing like his other films.
