DVD CRYPT: LADY VENGEANCE
For a third time in a row director Park Chan-Wook created the impossible... a perfect movie. Visually breath taking and masterfully crafted, the haunting story of Geum-Ja unfolds before our eyes in shock, sadness and tragedy. This is not your average movie that goes from point A to B. This is story telling at its best and most gripping.
There's so many scenes from the film that I loved so much that I could mentioned. One of them is when the character of Geum-Ja decides to contact the parents of the dead children, it become much more the just a personal revenge which could have easily turned the movie into pure exploitation. Instead it gave the movie a reflection on the meaning of revenge, its purpose and possible redemption. This was followed by what was for me one of the hardest scene ever, if you are a parent you will understand.
With the international acclaim of the masterfully crrafted OLDBOY, director Park Chan-Wook immediatly announced that he will be doing yet another revenge based movie. While people are claiming that this movie along with OLDBOY and SYMPATHY FOR MR.VENGEACE are a trilogy isn't really the truth. All three movies have the theme of revenge as the main purpose of the lead characters but each stories are completely different and features different characters but in some case, represented by the same actors.
With all the cameos in the film, this is a nice "ending" to his so called "trilogy" and a celebration of South Korean cinema. A genre that in recent years as gained respect around the world, thanks a lot to Park Chan-Wook himself.
