Our take

Hot on the heels of Sympathy for Mr Vengeance and Oldboy, Park Chan-wook caps his acclaimed “Vengeance” trilogy with a female twist. A characteristically baroque thriller with a mesmerising lead performance from Lee Young-ae, this beautiful trip to the dark side maps a macabre path to salvation.
