Many Koreans think Park is a weirdo. For your info, Park’s “Old Boy,”

Universal and Focus Features came on board Thirst in September 2008 I believe. But yeah, I could be just jumping to conclusions. Let The Right One started playing festivals in early 2008.

I think you are extrapolating your interesting thesis statement a tad too far.

Lady Vengeance was a bit too convoluted for me, though I liked the last half hour or so. Regardless, both movies are shot wonderfully. My favorite shot in Lady V is of Yeong-ae Lee sitting at the edge of the bed while smoking a cigarette - I forget where the scene is timeline-wise or even its importance. It's almost like a Wong Kar Wai shot in that the camera pretty much lies just as still as the actor, who is doing something mundane. Be warned: the image they use for Lady V's dvd menu is kinda a mini-spoiler; or maybe not a spoiler if you know absolutely nothing about the film, but the image - when you finally get up to that part in the movie - you'll kinda wish you hadn't seen it. It doesn't kill the movie, but it just would've been a nice surprise, to see how the scene plays out. Oldboy I liked.
