While watching this, I couldn’t help but think on other films that had caused for me a similar vibe, namely Takashi Miike’s “The Happiness of the Katakuris” and, well, actually any film by Jean-Pierre Jeunet. It has a whimsical, demented, determined happiness that you are either on board with from the beginning or not.
After the Vengeance trilogy and “Thirst”, it’s not what i was expecting, and if anything I was pleasantly surprised. A story about retribution for the ones we love even when no one, including ourselves, seem to understand. Park Chan-wook seems to always be contemplating those circumstances outside ourselves that force us into the choices we make. “I’m a Cyborg…” is definitely his most lighthearted prism to date, and consequently his most accessible.
- Currently 4.0/5 Stars.

Beautiful visuals and two exceptionally strong leads, backed by a great cast. The directing and cinematography had some real dazzling concepts. I have to say, I was forewarned about the ending and it did rather help me to enjoy the film more than if I hadn’t known what to expect. I won’t go into details of course, but if a viewer is like me and isn’t affected by spoilers that much, then it might be handy to have a browse of IMDB or ask a friend. It’s the only weak point of this movie, in my opinion.
