4 and 1/2 Stars. The third and final film in Park Chan-Wook's 'Vengeance Trilogy' works both as an eccentric character study and a culmination of the themes and storylines of the previous entries. The first film, 'Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance', is clearly about the futility of revenge while the second, 'Oldboy', focuses on the hubris of revenge. This film differs from the others insofar as it explores the possibility that revenge may be a path towards salvation. As a character study, 'Lady' works in clever ways. Without giving away any plot, the first section works against the audience, drowning out any narrative clarity by use of jarring editing, a constantly shifting time frame and the introduction of multiple side characters. These scenes are important, though, as ... Read More

"The Red Shoes" is actually a decent addition to the Asian horror genre and has commendable production values[ excellent cinematography, good casting, creepy sound effects], but is let down by a lack of originality and also an ending that stretches out too long and could have done with better editing. The story centers around an optometrist, Sun-jae (Kim Hye-soo] who is married with a young daughter, Tae-soo [Park Yeon-Ah]. When she finds her husband with another woman in their home, she leaves him, taking Tae-Soo with her. Meanwhile, Sun-Jae comes into possession of a pair of 'red' [fuchsia actually] shoes on a subway train and finds herself captivated by them. The shoes are also coveted by Tae-Soo who up till now has been a model child, but strangely starts throwing tantrums and acting ... Read More

3.The Quiet Family starring: In-hwan Park, Mun-hee Na, Kang-ho Song, Min-sik Choi, Ho-kyung Go directed by: Ji-woon Kim July 30, 2002

One of the worst things that can happen to a hotel is for someone to die there. But what if the deaths, suicides and possible murders just won't stop? That's the dilemma facing the titular "Quiet Family," in a Korean dark comedy that gives new meaning to the phrase "sick sense of humour." While the movie starts off in a relatively relaxed, normal manner, Kim Ji-woon's first movie becomes more warped and frenetic as the death-count rises, and the deliciously complex plot becomes cleverer. You'll never look at a rural bed-and-breakfast in quite the same way again. The Kang family recently moved from Seoul to a some remote rural area, where Dae Gu (Park In-hwa) has purchased a remote little hotel after being told that a major road is going to be run nearby. But nobody checks in until one ... Read More
