Movie Reviews of Lady Vengeance
Movie Review: One of my favs
Summary: 5 Stars
This is by far one of my favourite films. The production style alone puts it up with the likes of films like "kill bill", and "requiem for a dream".
The story line is however unique in the sense of how the revenge is achieved. It does not focus soley on vengeance, but also on the development of the main character (Geum-ja) through out her teen-age years up to her 30's.
Revenge is sweet, and I think you will enjoy this film, especially if you liked "Old Boy"
Summary of Lady Vengeance
After being blackmailed and wrongly imprisoned for 13 years a beautiful woman is finally set free. Now her brutally elaborate plan for vengeance against the true criminal can begin to unfold. Studio: Genius Products Inc Release Date: 05/13/2008 Run time: 112 minutes Rating: RThe third stop in Chan-wook Park's breathless revenge trilogy, Lady Vengeance comes down slightly--just slightly--from the astonishing highs of middle segment Oldboy. Elegant and ultraviolent in equal measures, Lady Vengeance requires rapt attention from the opening moments, as Park unloads his set-up in a jumble of characters and flashbacks. At the center is a doll-faced ex-con named Geum-ja (Yeong-ae Lee), who just spent 13 years in the slammer for killing a little boy. There's much more to her case than the public knows, and Geum-ja has been carefully, quietly preparing for revenge against the man who put her in this situation. We watch those gears turning throughout the movie, but as Lady Vengeance nears its completion it broadens into an even bigger event than Geum-ja expected. Funny and horrifying, Lady Vengeance is as measured as Geum-ja's own preparations, and has a gorgeous sort of logic about it. As impressive as those machinations are to watch, the movie doesn't make as forceful an argument as Oldboy on just how revenge might be as punishing to the revenge-taker as for his target. Lee is a cool heroine, and Min-sik Choi, who did such heroically exhausting service in Oldboy, is here employed as the monster. (The film's title in the U.S., Lady Vengeance, is different from international title Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, a closer tie to the first part of the trilogy, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance.) --Robert Horton
