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
mother issues zzz
She’s way too young to be his mom.
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…………….
