Highly anticipated, SYMPATHY FOR LADY VENGENANCE is ostensibly the final film of the director Park Chan-wook’s trilogy of vengeance (SYMPATHY FOR MR VENGENANCE and OLD BOY), continuing the recurrent themes of suffering, revenge and salvation. Lee Geum-ja is the Lady Vengeance who was sent to prison when she was 19 for a murder case and abduction of a child on behalf of Mr Baek. While in prison, she carefully prepares for her revenge by winning the hearts of her fellow inmates with her kindness, thus earning herself the nickname 'kind Ms. Geum-Ja'. Upon her release from prison after 13 years, she finally sets out to seek revenge on Baek. As visually stunning as OLD BOY, this final episode assures the director’s reputation as the frontrunner of Korean cinema with its aesthetic sophistication and formal resplendence.
