Bang Gang (A Modern Love Story) (2015)ĭirected by first-time filmmaker Eva Husson, ‘Bang Gang’ is an erotic drama about the limitless curiosity of adolescence. ‘Adore’ suffers for its uneven pace, clunky dialogues, and general directionlessness, but it is still a gorgeous film, and not just because of the beautiful people who star in it. The film’s softcore plot has been criticized as “trashy” by many reviewers, but the remarkable performances that Watts and Wright deliver add a level of relatability to the storyline. Years pass, and the boys ultimately move out of their homes, but the connections they have built with their respective lovers remain intact and eventually draw them back.

Based on the short story ‘The Grandmothers,’ the movie follows Lil ( Naomi Watts) and Roz (Robin Wright), two longtime friends, who begin affairs with each other’s sons, Ian (Xavier Samuel) and Tom (James Frecheville). In ‘Adore’ (known as ‘Adoration’ in Australia), director Anne Fontaine explores dangerously risqué themes in a story about forbidden love. An enraged Geum-ok lashes out against the only person she can discard easily, Eva. After Yoon’s and Eva’s affair becomes known to the public, the family’s reputation is completely shattered. The most prevalent theme in the movie is the moral degradation caused by wealth. Yoon only married Geum-ok to further his own ambitions. The business originally belonged to Geum-ok’s father. The police apprehend their son Yoon Chul (On Joo-wan) for aiding an American commit financial fraud. After discovering that her husband, Chairman Yoon (Baek Yoon-sik), is involved in an affair with their Filipina maid, Eva, she starts having sex with Yoon’s private secretary Joo Young-jak (Kim Kang-woo). The matriarch, Baek Geum-ok (Youn Yuh-jung), is ruthless and vindictive. Imbued with the soap-operatic sensationalism of a typical Korean drama, ‘The Taste of Money’ is an erotic thriller about a wealthy family and their moral bankruptcy, which leads them to eventual ruination.
