As much a work of art as it is a fantastic story

Rating: 9/10 (12 December 2006)

Some people may dislike this film due to some of the very graphic scenes, and it is certainly not for the squeamish. It is also not for the closed-minded or anybody who writes LOL in a review. The story is brilliantly structured and executed, the cinematography is even better. Some scenes are beautifully shot and if you don't have an issue with subtitles (or speak fluent Korean) then you will definitely get something out of this film.
The point the film is making is not a new one but it makes it very well. Most importantly though, this film is as beautiful to watch as it is intriguing to see the story unfold.
