I would consider this to be a legitimate perfect film

Rating: 10/10 (28 January 2019)

Everything about this movie breathes intent and purpose whenever something is presented to the audience.
Oh Dae Su is a businessman who is kind of a mess when it comes to being a husband and father. On his daughter's third birthday he gets drunk and eventually disappears. He is held hostage in a makeshift hotel room and stays for 15 years. When he is set free, he goes on a journey to enact his revenge on whoever imprisoned him.
The cinematography, script, direction, editing, music, and mise en scene are all top notch. Now there are aspects to this film that aren't very accessible to American audiences, however the film is definitely one of the most accessible of the more stylistic South Korean cinema. If you haven't had this movie spoiled for you then I would highly recommend watching this film.
