20th anniversary of the final film in Park Chan-wook's thematically-linked "Vengeance Trilogy", with special intros from film educator Hannah Baek before each screening.
Following 2002's SYMPATHY FOR MR. VENGEANCE and 2003's OLDBOY, director Park Chan-wook gave us one last tale of revenge to cap off the series. After being wrongfully convicted of kidnapping and murdering a young child, a beautiful young woman (Lee Young-ae) is imprisoned for 13 years and forced to give up her own daughter. While in prison, she gains the respect and loyalty of her fellow cellmates, all the while plotting her vengeance on the man responsible (Choi Min-sik). Upon her release, she sets in motion an elaborate plan of retribution, but what she discovers is a truth so horrifying, even revenge doesn't seem punishment enough.
