I don't really know my motive to hold up my review for Lady Vengeance for so long. This has been one of my favorite movies for almost 2 years. I know people could get truly disappointed by the final film on Park Chan Wook's trilogy being deprived (almost) from any action whatsoever. But what it lacks on that department it earns in drama and humor, and Lady Vengeance contains one of cinema's most disturbing sequences (video tapes scene) ever. I don't think a lot of people can face that part of the movie without wanting to turn their heads away. Most reviews on the IMDb praise the almost celestial use of music and images, and that's one of the best features on it. You can't help but wonder with your mouth wide open about every color, object and camera movement on this film. Brilliant decisions. This guy pushes movie-making in every single shot, from the remarkable and heart-wrenching opening credits to the last shot in the alley. I want that talent, for god's sake! Deeply moving film that will not appeal to people used to fast-paced features or hollywoodesque action.
