The Naked Kitchen

The Naked Kitchen was not what I expected in the least. I expected more drama/heartbreak from this film based on the film's premise. Alas all I received from this movie was a husband who stayed in denial for the majority of the film and a naive wife who couldn't make a decision between her husband whom was her childhood sweetheart and a stranger she diddled in an art gallery. The ending was an open-ended one and I assume it's meant to be left up to the imagination of the viewer.

I would have preferred it if the husband had killed his wife's lover, chopped him up, and served him in his restaurant. Now that would have been a great ending.

I didn't particularly enjoy this movie. Maybe I will watch it again to see if I missed something.

Synopsis:

"Today is Mo-rae and Sang-in’s one-year wedding anniversary. After a busy morning preparing for the celebration, Mo-rae goes to an art gallery to find a gift for Sang-in. At the gallery, she meets a complete stranger and the two unexpectedly have sex. Mo-rae returns home feeling anxious and guilty about the incident and cannot help but confess it to Sang-in. That night, a visitor arrives at their house; Du-rae, who came from Paris to help Sang-in with his new business. To Mo-rae’s shock, he is the man from the gallery. He temporarily lives with the couple in their house and a risky love triangle begins."
