I reckon they should show the whole Trilogy back-to-back at some point.... Park has certainly dealt with the concepts and consequences of vengeance in a far more intelligent (not to mention disturbing) way than Tarantino did with the rather average "Kill Bill"....

 

It's hard to say which of Park's films I liked best, all are extremely well structured and thought-provoking, and his stylistic flourishes are pretty astounding as well....

 

Hmm, I would say "Oldboy" is my fave at a push, mainly because of the barmy fight sequences and the whole idea of keeping someone prisoner for 15 years just to exact a terrible vengeance upon them, I know revenge is a dish best served cold, but this was absolutely sub zero in its execution.... :lol:

 

Have you seen "A Bittersweet Life" yet...?
