Lady Vengeance

Post by Y@k Bollocks »

Anyone seen this yet? Andvil's sig prompted me to make a post about it.

I caught a special preview at the ICA in London last week and I was mightily impressed. If you enjoyed Old Boy then definitely peep it. A little slower moving, but beautifully shot and acted, with some very dark humour, and the most gruesome ending i've seen in ages

I bought it on Region 3 DVD a few weeks back. Solid film, not as great as "Old Boy" (obviously) but I preferred it to "Sympathy For Mr Vengeance".

I liked how it started out semi-humorous, you know with the stories of Guem Ja's cellmates but takes a dark turn in the last third.

Not really gruesome but painfull to watch because of who did the killing (you know what I mean)

I thought it was a good flick (Old Boy was better tho)

Nah, I haven't seen it either.

What's the rush? Park Chan Wook is huge now (relatively). I'm just gonna chill and catch the shit in theatre whenever Tartan Asia gets around to sending a print my way. No point in me downloading this one.

Just read through the info on the site. To clarify, Old Boy isn't part of this Vengence trilogy is it?

Not caught Sympathy for Mr Vengence yet, gonna try and get hold of it. I though Old Boy was one of the best films i saw last year.

i was gonna go to that ica thing to see this but my gal couldn't reach and i don't like anyone else i know enough to go cinema with them.

gonna see it when it drops on fri the 20.

it could possibly be because i saw it more recently and so it sticks out in my mind more but i think mr vengeance was better than oldboy
