Review of Pieta (2012) by Steve W — 07 Oct 2013
In this tale of motherhood and transformation, a depraved loan shark who cripples those who cannot pay their debts finds his world turned upside down when his mother seeks him after 30 years. Coldly rejecting her at first, he bonds with her and tries to get back the childhood he never got.
Quitting his job, he finds his past coming back to haunt him in this grim film about revenge and nature vs. nurture. The acting is solid and the story is tight, and one of Kim ki-Duk's best.
