Synopsis by Jonathan Crow
Kim Kuk-hyeong makes his feature debut with this genre-bending millennial angst drama. After a night of binge drinking, the film's hospital surgeon protagonist (played by Korean heartthrob Ahn Sung-ki) discovers that the world has suddenly got awry (earthquakes, mass suicides, and a war alert with South Korea). At the same time, his ex-girlfriend sends him a confessional tape recalling their past relationship and their frequent kinky sex games. Black Hole was screened at the 1999 Pusan Film Festival.
