Spect.

Viewers find 'Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance' a visceral experience, marked by Park Chan-wook's distinctive style of intense, often disturbing violence and complex storytelling. The film's narrative initially confuses some, with its slow reveal of characters and motives, but it builds into a compelling tale of revenge. The use of visual storytelling, particularly through detailed and shocking scenes, leaves a strong impression, though for some, the level of violence feels excessive and detracts from the overall impact.

👍 Innovative visual storytelling

👎 Excessive violence may disturb

Il y a des films que j'aurais aimé ne pas voir... La violence y est telle, qu'elle fini par ne plus fonctionner me concernant.
