How it feels

A family falls apart through acts of extreme violence and transgression. The story unfolds without any spoken words, relying only on images and wordless vocal sounds.

What happens

Moebius (Korean: 뫼비우스) is a 2013 South Korean silent arthouse horror drama film written and directed by Kim Ki-duk. The narrative is conveyed entirely without use of spoken dialogue, written subtitles, or intertitles. Instead, characters communicate through vocables, and share moments of intensive gazing as a substitute for conversation. Moebius is also devoid of non-diegetic sound, with the exception of two scenes which mark the beginning of the film and the conclusion leading into the end credits. Moebius was screened out of competition at the 70th Venice International Film Festival. It was initially banned in South Korea, before the Korea Media Rating Board reviewed the film and changed the rating. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
