Review of Pieta (2012) by Tim M — 21 Oct 2013

Worthy of its numerous awards. "One of the more delicately crafted character studies of modern cinema, and a testament to the talent of director Kim Ki-duk, who continues to shock and astound in equal measure.

" "[He] crafts a quietly powerful, character-driven morality tale [...] about the relationship[s] between mother and son [,] money and happiness." "This is a grisly fable that never goes where we expect it to.

And it has some important things to say about both revenge and sacrifice." More touching and gross than The Isle.
