Three... Extremes is a chilling, top-shelf anthology, featuring three short 'horror' films directed by perennial MIFF faves Park Chan-wook, Miike Takashi and Fruit Chan.

"Park's Cut ranks as the director's best work to date. A famous director and his pianist wife are held hostage by a disgruntled extra in a rigged film set where the director must strangle a child or watch as his wife loses her fingers. The short's tableau mort recalls Saw but the slick camera moves and constant mood of moral judgment more explicitly brings to mind Se7en." - Slant

"In Miike's Box, the human psyche is also in a constant state of disrepair. A reclusive, guilt-ridden writer remembers the horrible death of her twin sister, whose presence begins to be felt in the real world. Recalls some of Polanski's greater moments, namely Rosemary's Baby.

The version of Dumplings included here sparked a feature. The cannibalistic and gastronomic frightener remains incredibly absorbing, the culminating horrors reflecting the growing gender imbalance in China.
