Sympathy for Lady VengeanceThe third and final movie in Chan-Wook Park's "vengeance" trilogy, Lady Vengeance is gorgeous looking movie with a surprisingly straightforward story. A girl gets sent to jail for a crime she didn't commit, when she gets out she vows to take revenge on the man for who she took the fall and that sent her to jail in the first place.
Park visual style makes the movie look very interesting but it didn't care much for any of the characters and the story jumps from on point in time to another often making it hard to follow where we are. Unlike the first two movies in the trilogy which left me breathless after the first viewing, Lady vengeance is one of those movie that require a few viewings to take in.
It a sexy and stylish movie that similarly to Thirst looks and sounds better than the movies story makes it out to be. Regardless Lady Vengeance is an essential Korean movie that really pushes the limits of filmmaking as Chan-wook Park often does.
