Lady Vengeance (Vengeance au féminin)
Falsely accused of kidnapping and murdering a child, Lee Geum-ja is sent to a women's prison and plans her revenge against the real culprit.
"You leave this film moved and shaken, with the sense of having witnessed an eventful, ambitious, clever, brilliant, funny, and moving movie. The virtuoso director mixes dark and sweet elements to weave a grotesque, sublime tragedy." (àVoir-àLire.com)
"If you've seen either of the first two films in this trilogy – Oldboy and Sympathy for Mister Vengeance – you know what's coming. Novices should prepare for mind-bending violence." (New York Post)
"Chan Wook may direct with a hyperkinetic zeal that borders on excess, but the result is beautiful, riveting, intelligent, and surprisingly controlled. A fitting conclusion to the best revenge trilogy since Aeschylus' Oresteia, and a film with a Byzantine structure you'll want to experience again." (Eye for Eye)
