[TOMT] Help me find a movie I saw in the late 2000s?
I'm sorry if this is going to sound impossible, but the film I saw was an anthology with varying stories in different settings and sometimes different languages. I wish I could remember more of it, but the most I can come up with is the start of a sex scene (in English) between an adult make and female in a big house without any power or lighting that then turned into some kind of dance number with 4-6 women dancing and singing "The Loco-Motion" by Grandfunk Railroad in one of the rooms. They were wearing Gothic makeup with corsets and boas. It then cut to an old man that looked like Peter Boyle sitting on a sofa in front of a fireplace. I looked up Peter Boyle's entire filmography, but found nothing.
Anyway, the next story/scene I remember was in Korean (I think). It was about a young, scrawny woman that was in prison. She looked as if she had never been arrested before, but she was ultimately introduced to one of the bosses of a prison gang. She was a chubby, Korean lady with big hair similar to an afro. Not sure if she was blind or what, but as she was talking to the new inmate, she would look up at the ceiling. Can't remember the dialogue, but she basically said that she had to pay a price for being there and to beg. She even had her say a certain word, but I don't know how to spell it or if I heard it properly. After that, it cuts to her kneeling on both legs underwater as she's giving the prison boss oral. The older lady is sitting on the edge of an indoor swimming pool, starts making intense faces, and says something along the lines of "Keep squirming, you skinny bitch!" Something similar to that, but not verbatim.
The last scene I remember was about a young filmmaker that was dating a woman. They're sitting in a small, dimly lit room at a table, chatting and getting to know each other. He talks about wanting to make a 24 hour film about following a man in his daily life, but says he thinks people would find it boring. She disagreed and said that people may find it a lot more interesting than he thinks since it would be relatable.
This is all I remember. I can't say if I'm mixing up other films that I've seen, but I'm at a loss. If it helps, I saw these long ago on The Sundance channel.
