synopsis
Unjustly accused of kidnapping and murdering a child, Lee Geum-ja is imprisoned in a women’s prison, where she plans her revenge against the real culprit.
On sort de là ému et ébranlé avec la sensation d’avoir vu un film événementiel à la fois ambitieux, malin, brillant, drôle et bouleversant. Le cinéaste virtuose mélange les noirs désirs et les roses bonbon pour tisser une sublime tragédie grotesque.

If you’ve seen either of the first two flicks in this series – Oldboy and Sympathy for Mister Vengeance – you know what’s coming. Novices should prepare for mind-bending bloodshed and violence.

Chan Wook may direct with a hyper kinetic zeal that borders on selfindulgence, but the result is something beautiful, riveting, intelligent and surprisingly responsible. It is certainly a fitting conclusion to the best revenge trilogy since Aeschylus’ Oresteia, and, in what probably ensures its status as a classic, it is a film whose Byzantine structure will leave you wanting to see it again.
