Directed by Kim Ki-duk | 2012
With Jo Min-soo, Lee Jung-jin, Eunjin Kang, Kim Jae-rok, Jin Yong-Ok
The Golden Lion winner at last year’s Venice Film Festival, this unholy mix of Christian iconography and carnal appetites follows the unpredictable entanglement of a ruthless loan shark and the middle-aged woman who claims to be his long-lost mother. At once a psychologically penetrating melodrama and a gruesome revenge tale, celebrated auteur Kim’s return to form balances its stomach-churning Oedipal premise with two sublimely tender lead performances.
