Review of Lady Vengeance (2005) by Panther49 — 03 Mar 2023
An incredible Count of Monte Cristo story with an absolute top-notch soundtrack. Easily rewatchable as the director does not insult the audience; its non-linear approach can be difficult to follow, but there's so many details throughout the movie that demand repeated viewings. The difficult-to-watch scenes are quickly offset by scenes of revenge, satisfying baroque-style music, and excellently framed imagery. Geum-ja Lee is a powerful female character. She has many flaws and her actions vary from morally questionable to straight up murder, but there's never a doubt in her reasoning.
Some cuts are kind of odd and the musical themes could have been spaced out a bit more at parts, but this remains one of my favorite films.
