| 301-302 explores, mostly through flashbacks, as the film commences with a nosy police detective interrogating the resident of apartment 301 in her sparkling, state-of-the-art kitchen, on the disappearance of her anorexic neighbor in 302. As the details of the mystery unfold, the setting moves back and forth in time between the lives of the two women, the series of events that led them to the same apartment building and the mysterious disappearance of one of two young women who live across the hall from each other in a modern apartment complex in Seoul. The women each share common but dissimilar obsessions: eating disorders and problematic relationships with men. Song from apartment 301 is an amateur cook whose spare time is spent preparing and eating lavish meals, while her reclusive neighbor from apartment 302, Yun, a writer (who must settle to sustain herself financially by writing the sex column of a Korean women's magazine, unable to publish the writings about which she is most passionate), becomes ill at the mere sight or smell of food. In a series of flasbacks, we see how the relationship between the two women develops and learn the shocking secret of what happened to 302. The slightly horrifying climax is predictable. The pace is extremely slow, as usual in Korean films. Many many close-ups of food. |
