With his wife off in Paris, J is free to spend his leisure time with his new partner - the first 15 minutes of the film combines the somewhat grueling deflowering scene, interrupted only by a series of titles - “The First Hole,” “The Second Hole,” and so on - that, if nothing else, underscores Jang's cinema-verite notions of what this film is going to be. His motivations - apart from the obvious - are murky, but when young Y (Tae Yeon) answers with a phone call, they agree to meet, and the rest of the film is mostly set in J's bedroom and assorted hotels.
(The film was also banned in Japan, a fact hard to reconcile with that country's steady output of wildly popular and socially accepted X-rated anime and live-action nightmares such as Takao Nagaishi's studiously offensive Rapeman series.) Looking as though it were shot through a drape of moldy cheesecloth, Lies tells the story of sculptor J (Sang Hyun), who, in an opening narration, places an advertisement in the paper for an 18-year-old girl to deflower. That the film has been reviled as outright pornography says more for the politics-laden state of filmmaking in South Korea and surrounding regions than it does about Lies itself. There's not much here, certainly, for fans of American yank 'n' spank tape loops: Jang's adaptation of Jung Il-Chang's (also banned) novel about the relationship between a 38-year-old sculptor and his teenage paramour is clearly a concentrated spit in the eye to the South Korean censors, but at its heart it's a love story, albeit one with a sadomasochistic bent. Its curious structure and neo-neo-realistic approach to storytelling gets it off the porno hook, though - there's more going on than simple bedroom antics. It's a film so filled with sex and violence that many critics have derided it as nothing short of hardcore porn.
