Final installment in Chan-Wook trilogy
If you’ve already seen Park Chan-Wook’s excellent Sympathy for Mr Vengeance and Oldboy, then here’s the final instalment in his revenge trilogy.
In Lady Vengeance (Tartan, €24.99) Lee Geum-ja (Lee Young-ae) is released from prison having served 13 years for aiding the abduction and murder of a child.
What kept her a model prisoner was her desire for revenge on the real killer. And now the moment has arrived. What follows is bloody, extraordinary violence, stylishly choreographed by this brilliant director whose work has strong echoes of Tarantino.
