Three Asian directors, from Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan, join forces to create an omnibus horror film, Three…Extremes. In Fruit Chan’s “Dumplings,” shot by Christopher Doyle, Mrs. Li (Miriam Yeung), a thirtysomething former actress with a philandering husband (Tony Leung) goes to visit Aunt Mei (Bai Ling), who sells the most expensive dumplings in Hong Kong. Mrs. Li knows about their rejuvenating powers, and she also knows about their unpleasant main ingredient, but after some initial nausea, she digs right in. In Oldboy writer/director Park Chan-wook’s “Cut,” a successful filmmaker (Lee Byung-hun of Joint Security Area) arrives home to find that a disgruntled extra (Lim Won-hee) has taken over his home, and fastened his pianist wife (Kang Hye-jun of Oldboy) to the grand piano. The madman threatens to cut off the wife’s fingers, one by one, unless the director strangles the helpless child he’s tied to the couch. Takashi Miike directs the last segment, “Box,” about a young author and former circus performer, Kyoko (Kyoko Hasegawa), seemingly haunted by the ghost of her twin sister, who died a mysterious and horrible death while practicing their act. Adding to Kyoko’s trauma, her editor (Atsuro Watabe) is a dead ringer for her old stepfather/ringmaster, who may have perished in the same “accident” that took her sister’s life. Three…Extremes was shown at Subway Cinema’s New York Asian Film Festival in 2005. For the American release of Three…Extremes, the order in which the films are presented was altered from the original “Box,” “Dumplings,” and “Cut” to “Dumplings,” “Cut,” and “Box.” This film was actually preceded by another omnibus film, Three, that was nevertheless retitled Three…Extremes II for the English-language market and issued after this one., A trio of frighteningly good horror tales, directed by Asian maestros Takashi Miike (Japan), Fruit Chan (Hong Kong) and Chan-wook Park (Korea), puts viewers on edge of their seats—or covering their eyes in terror. One of them, Chan’s “Dumplings,” about a mysterious woman (Bai Ling) whose delectable delicacies have rejuvenating powers that reverse the aging process, was expanded into a full-length feature film. Miriam Yeung, Tony Ko-Fai Leung, Lee Byung-Hun.
