I love the three part, nonlinear narratives of South Korean cinema that I’ve seen. This movie was so well crafted, the script was incredible, and the story was so unique – something that I can’t imagine coming out of an American movie.
I thought the ending would be much darker just because this is my second park Chan wook movie and old boy was pretty crazy in terms of an ending, but this ended rather peacefully
What a narrative
