5.0 out of 5 stars Third time's the charm... 13 May 2006
By A. R. Thayne
Format:DVD
Why is it today, that all films have to come in trilogy form? Whatever the reason, film trilogies are everywhere in this day and age, so praise the Lord for Park Chan-Wook's third instalment to his brilliant Vengeance Trilogy, Lady Vengeance. Coming after the 2003 releases of Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Oldboy, Lady Vengeance is perhaps the most stylish and charming (sorry, but Lee Young-Ae is slightly more attractive than Choi Min-Suk) of the three films that all stand alone in their own right.

We begin with Gueum-ja's release from a thirteen-and-a-half-year stint in prison for a kidnap and murder she took the blame for. Bitterly determined, out heroine is now a far cry from the charming 'Gueum-ja the kind-hearted' that touched each of her cellmates like an angel. Not losing her appeal, however, Gueum-ja now seeks revenge on the man who took her heart and soul away from her.

Starting her journey by visiting her old cellmates, Gueum-ja begins to plot her revenge, pulling in favours from all her ex-con buddies. Park's direction here quite literally shines, as we see the stories of all she has touched played out. Powerful, her angelic metaphor is brought to life. But, how she has fallen? She is now Hell-bent on revenge, and the reunion with her now adopted daughter only adds to her pain and anger.

Gueum-ja is no angel; not entirely innocent; and must feel some guilt. This is the film's charm. Like in Mr. Vengeance and Oldboy before it, the hero, or in this case heroine, is by no means perfect and has made their fair share of mistakes. The ability to empathise with the characters and live their journeys is what makes Park's films so beautiful. it's not just the aesthetically-pleasing weaponry!... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars A masterpiece 29 July 2006
By Descending Angel
Format:DVD
My personal favourite of the trilogy (although Oldboy is a very close second). This film displays images that conjure up raw instinctive emotions for the viewer, mixed with shots of pure beauty and art. Following this woman's journey for closure is an amazing trip which keeps your mind busy, your rage pumping and the tears flowing. Beautiful.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vengence Trilogy Finale.... 28 Feb 2006
By Alex Cassidy
Format:DVD
A superb conlusion to Chan-wook Park's excellent trilogy of blackly comic tragedies. Korean cinema is among the most exciting and progressive in the world and Lady Vengenence showcases exactly why. Min-sik Choi (unbelievably brilliant in Oldboy and Shiri) is once again fascinating and Yeong-ae Lee is equally as compelling as the complex heroine. Park's distinctive aesthetic vision and dedication to conceptualised, textured production design really makes his work distinctive, with brilliant performances from the cast transforming the stylish and violent images into profound meditations on life and loss. With more subtlety employed in the depiction of violence and a more accesible script, Lady Vengence could be described as a more mature outing for the often confontational director. Again employing subtle CGI to create a sureal world in which to hang an equally sureal and macabre story, Park indulges the audience in a visual, viscerial tale of humananity and it's darker side. An easier way to start with Chan-wook Park than either Oldboy or Sympathy for Mr. Vengence, if not quite as satisfying as either of those two pictures.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fade to white version only... 23 Jan 2010
By M. A. Bennett
Format:Blu-ray
After much speculation, I can confirm this is the 'fade to white' version only (starts at approx 75mins).
It is region B according to cover.
Extra features; Style of LV, making of LV,LV in Venice, the characters.

The 1080p/24fps picture is absolutely stunning, along with the Korean 5.1DTS-MA soundtrack, (English subtitles only).

Loses 1 star for not having both versions, but I am pleased to just have this excellent follow-on from Oldboy [Blu-ray] [2003] in high definition.

This could have been a definitive release, another missed opportunity for blu ray.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet, touching vengeance 9 Dec 2006
By Clariana
Format:DVD
Having seen "Old Boy" and read some plot summaries of this movie, I was expecting something outlandishly gory. It is, in fact, anything but and all the better for it. I see a lot of our own Peter Greenaway in Park's film, the use throughout of haunting barroque music, of carefully composed scenes and symbolic, colour combinations, especially red and white. It also deals with an important moral dilemma, if your child had been killed and you had a chance to mete revenge personally on the murderer or turn him over to justice what would you do? This is the choice Lady V offers to the grieving relatives and their different reactions are essential to the film's impact. Last but not least, the film is shot through with a deep, sad yearning for unattainable spiritual purity and clenliness.

4.0 out of 5 stars Park Chan-wook proves to us that he is one of the best directors from Korea 29 Jun 2007
By Jenny J.J.I.
Format:DVD
This film is really good. Park Chanwook made the perfect conclusion to a trilogy with Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. The three films work off each other beautifully, and Sympathy for Lady Vengeance is far from a disappointment.The acting is top-notch, with cameos from Park Chanwook's first two films intermingling with new talent. The directing is superb, not quite eclipsing Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance or Oldboy but coming quite close. Park's directing style is solid and distinctive; he builds off earlier films and ideas to give an air of intensity surrounding the most innocent of scenes.

SFLV cuts back on the violence and focuses on personal turmoil, a welcome change from the beginning of his revenge trilogy. My favorite elements of this movie are the use of flashbacks to tell the witty, yet complicated story, and that the film sticks to its theme of vengeance with a die-hard, unwavering dedication. The only thing holding back from a perfect score is a slow ending, one which is necessary to bring the trilogy to a close but still slightly treading.

All in all, this film represents a master finishing his masterpiece, should be viewed by everyone, and works perfectly as a separate film and not a piece of a trilogy. Violence is minimal compared to Park's first two films, but is graphic. "Sympathy for Lady Vengeance" is one of the few films that will make people cry not out of sadness but out of love.
