Chan Wook Park was making this for like ten years, and he surely has his arguments. The movie is very polished, mature and works on many different levels. A bit too many taking the runtime into account. But the last 30 minutes catches fire again and convinces me having watched a top-notch stuff. Like all Park’s movies, this has an amazing cinematography, great acting and a lot of wickedness. I have a weird imagination too, so it was tasty. The best thing about this movie is the ending though.
