A MEANINGFUL TORTURE



There are several worldwide acknowleged movie directors that tend to molest their viewers. Most of them (Lars von Trier, Paul Thomas Anderson, late Terrence Mallick) do that without any serious intentions and purpose.

Kim Ki-Duk is one of those fanatically resilient movie directors that don't give up from their vision from start 'till the end of his flicks, but do that for a reason.

„Pieta” is one of those stories, revolving around the extortionist that mutilates people who can not repay their debts for insurance. When confronted with his long gone mother, the thug will be put to test of humanity. Kim Ki-Duk won't, staying forever faithful to the claustrophobic depicition of the Seoul's handicrafters lives on the verge of economical extinction and gory scenes of the mutilations themsleves. Along that path of brutality, all of the aspects and possible scenarios will be covered and explained thoroughly. The very end will be in the fashion of true Korean thriller masters, enthroning Kim Ki-Duk as one of the best modern movie directors in the world.

„Pieta” will make you sick, twist your heart inside out and play with your mind along its way.
