- TriviaThere are no spoken dialogues in the film.
- Alternate versionsUpon first submission to the Korea Media Rating Board, the original 90 minute-cut of the film was classified a "Restricted Release" rating, which is equivalent to the MPAA NC-17 rating and would result into a very limited release only across restricted film theaters across South Korea. The KMRB objected the film's release due to its incestuous scenes. In accordance to KMRB's guidelines, director Kim ki-Duk would then trim off 1 minute and 20 seconds of footage for a second submission. However, this new 89 minute-version would also get a Restricted rating. Kim would then remove 50 more seconds of more incestuous footage and would bring the runtime down to its current form of 88 minutes. The KMRB rated the new cut a "Youth Not Allowed" rating and would finally clear a wide release.

Featured review
Moebius : Kim Ki Duk offers his artistic contribution about one of mankind's worst evils.
On a close look at this film, director Kim Ki Duk cannot be blamed for making a controversial fiction film about the taboo subject of 'Incest'. It is not the depiction of the social evil but the manner in which this topic is handled is strange. In the recent history of South Korean cinema, Moebius might be one of the few films where a South Korean family especially the parents are shown in an extremely bad light. The biggest problem about this film is that it does not have any dialogs. The actors are shown to perform their roles without uttering much. This has given rise to a lot of confusion as viewers might have hard time understanding the real motive of different characters. At a time when most joint families are collapsing due to irresponsible attitude of individual members, Moebius is surreal depiction of the total collapse of a family due to the neglect of the family by the male member. Kim Ki Duk's controversial film "Moebius" got a second lease of life when a ban on its showing in South Korea was lifted. There is hardly anything strange in this development as most of his films have failed to achieve popularity with domestic audiences in South Korea.Moebius is a good link to the chain of controversial films started by directors Bernardo Bertolucci and Louis Malle.
