Hey folks, Harry here with a link to the first english language comments from the first press screening in South Korea of Chan Wook Park's 3rd Film in his Revenge Trilogy called SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE! One of my absolute most anticipated films of 2005 is this movie. Darcy's review at KoreaFilm.Org is little more than a few impressions based upon that first press screening. The film doesn't seem to be the unleashed fury of the first two, but rather - a more deliberate film. Here's his initial impression:
I did like it quite a bit. It's perhaps harder to digest in one sitting than OLD BOY or MR. VENGEANCE. Even though watching it is quite intense in parts, it's the sort of film that leaves you thinking afterwards, and I imagine my feelings about it will continue to evolve over time.
