Director Chan Wook Park
After being wrongfully convicted of kidnapping and murdering a young child, a beautiful young woman (Lee Yeong-ae) is imprisoned for 13 years and forced to give up her own daughter. While in prison she gains the respect and loyalty of her fellow cellmates, all the while plotting her vendetta on the man responsible (Oldboys Choi Min-Sik). Upon her release she sets in motion an elaborate plan of retribution, but what she discovers is a truth so horrifying, even revenge doesnt seem punishment enough.

South Korean maestro Park Chan-wook concludes his Revenge Trilogy with the operatic, mesmerizing SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE. Unlike the first two films in the trilogy--SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE and OLDBOY--this time around, the hero is a heroine. On the heels of her release from prison, Lee Geum-ja (Lee Yeong-ae) embarks on a mission to track down the man responsible for her imprisonment, which also resulted in her being forced to give up her daughter for adoption. Hardened by years in the penitentiary and endlessly fantasizing about the right way to exact revenge, she enlists the help of former cellmates to accomplish her goal. But what she uncovers is a secret so horrifying that no revenge seems fitting. Employing the same techniques (symphonic music, electrifying cinematography, sharp editing) that made OLDBOY such a thrilling cinematic experience, Park Chan-wook concludes his trilogy on a somber note. Beginning as a flashy, almost lighthearted spectacle, SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGEANCE gradually reveals itself to be a poignant commentary on the futility of revenge. Fortunately, the director's sheer audacity and technical virtuosity keeps it from succumbing to total darkness. This filmed screened as part of Lincoln Center's 2005 New York Film Festival.

Lady Vengeance Reviews:

4 stars out of 5 -- "Red blood trickles through winter snow, black humour oozes past a pale smile and cleansing white tofu fills in for a live octopus." -- Jonathan Crocker, Total Film

"Park is a gifted visual artist with a gift for defamiliarizing even the most prosaic scenes….His style influences performances as well, as the actors shift fluidly from naturalistic bluntness to uncanny expressionism..."-- Carina Chocano, Los Angeles Times

"Misdeed besotted with violence is still the filmmaker's action of choice, and exquisite compositional audacity is still his thing." -- Grade: A- -- Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly

"[T]he florid beauty of Park's tightly controlled, endlessly inventive mise en scene is imposing enough to paper over the cracks." -- Matthew Leyland, Sight and Sound

"[S]eriously upsetting....Methodical, chilling..."-- Michael Atkinson, Movieline's Hollywood Life

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

5 stars Great
Though this movie isn't as good as his other film Oldboy, perfection is hard to duplicate, with Oldboy first, I liked Lady Vengeance second in Park Chan-Wook "Revenge Trilogy" Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance, being third, but of coarse, still a good movie.

2 stars Sympathy for Mr.Vengence is way better!!!
Now Sympathy for Mr. vengeance was a bit hardcore,but this movie is straight gross,and totally in apropriate,and the only cool part was in the last twenty minutes. To be honest there were part's in Mr. Vengeance,I didn't care for,but I thought that they had atleast a little point in the movie.This movie had a couple scenes that made me want to throw it in the trash,and I did. Bottomline Sympathy for mr. vengeance is way better.I think this could of been a good movie,but all it takes is a couple horrible scene's to ruin a film,and this had them.Now if they came out with a cut up version that got rid of the gross part's I'd buy it...
