Colour Blossoms

2004 · 106 min

A languid, sensual plunge into obsession and desire, visually intoxicating but emotionally chilly and disorienting.

Overview
A real estate agent is drawn into a torrid - and sadomasochistic - relationship with a morose, stunningly beautiful Japanese photographer. The two cavort in a luxurious apartment owned by an elegant upper-crust Japanese lady, crossing paths with an infatuated policeman, a mysterious Korean woman, and an increasingly tangled web of violence, criss-crossing passions, and lurid, unchecked desires.
