Film Screening
Sympathy for Mr.Vengeance
Directed by Park, Chan-wook 2002
22 August 2008
After his hugely successful breakthrough film, Joint
Security Area in 2000, director Park Chan-wook had
the opportunity to make just about any kind of movie
he wanted. However, his ultimate decision was to go
back to a scenario he had written in the mid-1990’s: a
grim, violent tale about the kidnapping of a young girl
and the father who sets out for revenge. The result is
a movie that will give you nightmares but leave you in
awe of its power.
Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance opens with the narration
of Ryu, a deaf man with bleached green hair who works
in a smelting factory. Ryu is desperate to find a kidney
transplant for his dying sister, and he assures her he
will do everything in his power to save her. When his
initial plans fail, however, he and his girlfriend, a leftist
with radical views, find themselves contemplating the
unthinkable.
