Quote:
As anyone who’s watched “The Way of the Gun” knows, the furthest distance between two points is always between a kidnapper and his money. In “Sympathy for Mr Vengeance”, though, getting the money is easy. It’s staying alive long enough to spend it that’s the problem.

Taking its cue from the Pang brothers’ similarly excellent “Bangkok Dangerous”, “Sympathy for Mr Vengeance” stars Shin Ha-kyun as Ryu, a deaf and dumb steelworker who kidnaps his boss’ daughter in order to pay for a kidney operation for his beloved sister. Nothing goes according to plan, and what ought to have been easy money soon turns into blood money.

That’s just the start of this supremely gritty hardboiled thriller set in Asia’s underground world of illegal organ transplants. After the kidnapping goes awry, Ryu and his girlfriend, Youngmi (the fantastic Bae Doo-na from “Take Care of My Cat” and the Korean remake of “Ringu”), struggle to avoid Ryu’s old boss, who’s determined to take an eye for an eye.

Director Park Chan-Wook says he wanted to create a hard-boiled Asian thriller that eschewed the overblown visual excess of recent Korean efforts (like “Shiri”) in favour of a darker, more realistic delivery.

As a result, everything here is saturated in the believable (and the bloody), and although cinematographer Kim Byung-II has an eye for composing quite unusual shots, Park refuses to substitute bravura technical ability for emotional engagement.

Suitably, for a movie about a deaf-and-dumb hero, the audio track veers from moments of uncanny silence to a screeching jazz saxophone to even more disturbing sound effects of torsos being cracked open, heads beaten with baseball bats, and, in the most excruciating moment, a torture scene involving electrodes and earlobes.

Brutally nihilistic, this is one of the best Korean films to have hit these shores in a very long time.

The post Chan-wook Park – Boksuneun naui geot AKA Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance (2002) first appeared on Cinema of the World.

Synopsis:
In the DMZ separating North and South Korea, two North Korean soldiers have been killed, supposedly by one South Korean soldier. But the 11 bullets found in the bodies, together with the 5 remaining rounds in the assassin’s magazine, amount to 16 cartridges for a gun that should normally hold 15. The investigating Swiss/Swedish team from the neutral countries overseeing the DMZ suspects that another, unknown party was involved – all of which points to some sort of cover up. The truth is much simpler and much more tragic.

India Stoker (Mia Wasikowska) was not prepared to lose her father and best friend Richard (Dermot Mulroney) in a tragic auto accident.

When Charlie moves in with her and her emotionally unstable mother Evie (Nicole Kidman), India thinks the void left by her father’s death is finally being filled by his closest bloodline. Soon after his arrival, India comes to suspect that this mysterious, charming man has ulterior motives. Yet instead of feeling outrage or horror, this friendless young woman becomes increasingly infatuated with him.

Plot Synopsis [AMG]
After wrapping-up his critically-acclaimed “Vengeance Trilogy” with the award-winning 2005 thriller Sympathy for Lady Vengeance, South Korean filmmaker Chan-wook Park shifts gears for this gently comic romantic drama concerning a delusional young mental patient who believes herself to be a cyborg. Convinced that she is not entirely human but in fact part android, Young-goon (Lim Su-jeong)’s health begins to deteriorate as she gives up eating food and instead decides to “charge her batteries” by administering electric shocks to herself via a small transistor radio. As her mental state continues to deteriorate, the troubled young woman takes to donning her grandmother’s dentures and carrying on extended conversations with various machines around the mental health facility. Of course Young-goon isn’t the only person suffering from a mental malady in this hospital, and it’s not long before Il-soon (Rain), a young man with a penchant for wearing masks and a reputation for being anti-social, is admitted as well. A good-looking young man who sets about convincing his fellow patients that he has the power to absorb their personality traits, Il-soon gradually begins to develop a tender romance with the troubled Young-goon. Later, when hospital officials determine that the only way to save Young-goon is to administer electro-shock therapy, the treatment has the unusual side-effect of convincing the would-be android that she has been fully recharged and possesses the ability to fire bullets from her fingers. In reality, Young-goon’s physical deterioration has become truly alarming. With little time to lose before the love of his life slides beyond the point of no return, Il-soon enlists the aid of his concerned fellow patients in getting Young-goon back on the path to good health.
