A clear allegory of a modern society that struggles in moral values. A rude capitalist businessman that fires his workers without a word, and a worker that, ingenuously, thinks that a kidnap (of the businessman's daughter) can solve his situation. In fact, Chan-wook Park is a master in painting the escalation of (useless) violence and the stupidity of the human mind (remember: both of a deaf-mute worker and a rich businessman) blinded by the desire of revenge. This movie wants to be a 2 hours psychiatric session, and it does well.

First entry of the vengeance trilogy is a rock solid one.

Devastating is the only way to describe this film. The beginning lets you think it is going to be the usual socially aware film about inequality, but things quickly degenerate into a spiral of revenge and violence that transcends social context and culture. Park Chan-wook has a reputation for over-stylized films, but here he is masterful in maintaining the perfect balance between surreal atmospheres, realistic mise-en-scene and bad taste black humor. The way he indulges in each tragedy feels genuine, painfully raw, and never melodramatic. Yet, most scenes still retain a peculiar, highly cinematic feel. I was hoping for a more impactful ending but it's still close to a masterpiece.

Often called a cruel film, I think its misfortune is mistaken for heartlessness. But the film holds sympathy for each protagonist in its tragedy and gives each of them ample screentime to explain how we got here, and that makes the wave of violence that envelops the final third well earned.
