LADY VENGEANCE
[친절한 금자씨]
Slightly less violent, but no less visually ravishing than the first two films in Park Chan-wook's "Vengeance Trilogy," LADY VENGEANCE has a plot as intricate and precise as a Swiss watch. Imprisoned for 14 years for a crime she didn't commit, Lee Geum-ja (Lee Yeong-ae) immediately puts into action a complex revenge scheme against Mr. Baek (a very creepy Choi Min-sik), the sociopathic schoolteacher who forced her to confess her crime all those years ago. As the true extent of Baek's sadism becomes more apparent, Lee plans a more and more baroque comeuppance for him, while flashbacks reveal how deeply he wronged her. "Dense with pathos, poetry and humor, this is Park's finest work to date." – Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com. DIR/SCR Park Chan-wook; SCR Chung Seo-kyun; PROD Cho Young-wuk, J. J. Harris, Beth Kono, Lee Chun-yeong, Lee Tae-hun. South Korea, 2005, color, 112 min. In English, Korean and Japanese with English subtitles. RATED R
