The title of the film Plastic Tree is taken from a song by the rock group Radiohead, though the connection between the two eludes this writer. A bizarre combination of drama and horror, the film is one of the strangest to get a general theatrical release this year.
The story revolves around a love triangle between Su (Kim In-gweon), a painfully shy barber living on the shores of Pusan; Won-yong (Jo Eun-suk), his listless live-in girlfriend who works for a delivery service; and Byong-ho (Kim Jung-hyun), Su¡?s psychotic childhood friend who makes a long and unwelcome visit.
The love triangle that develops among the three friends starts off slowly like a gentle melodrama, but by the end it swallows everyone whole. Some critics have likened the film¡?s unusual narrative twists to avant-garde French cinema, an aesthetic comparison that would be putting the characters¡? puzzling behaviors mildly.
The relationships turn into a bad Freudian comedy, with sexual repressions and unresolved memories that would give Norman Bates a good run for his money.
