To begin with, I put this grade with a needle in my heart. I'm a massive fan of Kim's work and I've seen everything from his masterpieces.
I'll try to be fair. I accept the fact that he's been always experimenting and I do love that he tries more and more to change the point of view in his movies.
In particular, Moebius takes an innovative - unusual way to tell the story. The movie doesn't contain any dialog; the actors are caricatures that fit perfectly in the scenery. The script is daring but it loses it somewhere. It lacks something. There is a really annoying (after some time in the movie) obsession with masturbation, there are lots of pointless violence, and the metaphors lack of the usually great Ki-Duk's connections.
The Oedipus-myth complex is clear from the start, but I can't see what new "Moebiuseu" is adding to the story.
After the movie ended, I was left cold and alone. I really didn't understand if it held any of the Kim Ki-Duk usual movies' values.
I thought that it might had been best if I had never seen "Moebiuseu", because this is the first time that this creator falls in my eyes.
