SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE

CHAN-WOOK PARK | SOUTH KOREA | 2002 | 129 MIN

Before shocking the world with OLDBOY, South Korean maverick Chan-wook Park delved into similar themes of violent retribution with this grisly tale of a gentle young man going to extreme lengths to secure a kidney transplant for his ailing sister. Sordid yet eerily beautiful, SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE proves that revenge is a dish best served bloody.
