So, so, so good. Might be my favorite movie of 2016, and if it's not, well, it's second on the list. Ugh, I loved this. Park Chan-wook has been one of my favorites for years now, at least since I saw Oldboy, and you know what? This might be better than Oldboy was. But there's time for ranking and comparing and sorting later. For now, can I just gush some more?
I don't want to spoil a thing, as this one's best left completely vague, I think. But! It takes place in Japanese-occupied Korea and involves a complex but easily followed and understood scheme to defraud a wealthy Japanese heiress. And let's just say the moral of the story is that you should never deprive a wealthy Japanese gentleman of his rare porn collection.
Ugh, what a gorgeous movie. It's fucking excellent, and it's got some excellent fucking. (Ha!) And some violence. And enough twists and turns to make your head spin, except, no, really, you're in good hands here, the story's crystal clear and loads of fun. Have I mentioned that this is also a gorgeous movie? Like it's an immaculately shot and structured movie. Just stunning from start to finish.
Oof, damn, I loved this. It's on Amazon Prime! Check it out. Fair warning, it's two and a half hours long and subtitled. But seriously, guys. Seriously. So good.
