Review of Pieta (2012) by Matt M — 18 Sep 2013
Kim Ki-Duk's film is at first interesting, then aggressive and finally intriguing. It is a very distinctive vision which is unafraid to play around with eccentric elements and thematic taboos, of which the most notable example is incest which may seem uncomfortable to some viewers - but after all, this is not a comfortable film.
Ultimately, Pieta is an ambitiously alternative take on domestic dramas with intense psychological undertones and a welcome final twist.
