Plot – Spoilers:
In a gloomy South Korean city, Lee Kang-do works for Happy Private Loans, recovering the ridiculous interest they charge from low-income workers who were desperate enough to borrow from them. Kang-do is merciless as a collector and often maims his victims to collect the insurance.
A woman starts following him around, claiming to be his mother who’d dumped him soon after birth. Kang-do torments her but she refuses to leave, enduring the humiliation as part of her penance. He eventually relents after the lady passes the best possible test to confirm if a random woman is your mother – rape the woman, and if she’s willing to suffer it, she must be your mother.
Pieta has more of these little Kim Ki-duk oddities, though it isn’t as manic as Moebius.
Genres: Gruesome, , SelfHarm-Suicide, Revenge, Animals
Any movie that starts with some gook wanking is just going to be shit, really people ya give good comments, the director Who flung dung is useless, there are a shit load of really good korean movies, these are not
fucking brilliant
This movie, yet good, isn’t that good and i do not explain why. I just leave now and do not come back here.
Another in a long line of brilliant f*cked up revenge films from Korea. Recommended, a solid 4/5 eels.
Nice…………….
