A Great Foreign Film Trilogy

If you are one who isn't intimidated by foreign films with subtitles and like to widen your film variety I highly recommend this Pop Noir Korean film Trilogy called-REVENGE TRILOGY.
2002 - Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance
2003 - OLD BOY
2005 - Lady Vengeance
Director Chan Wook Park created these bold characters in highly repressed environments with social, monetary, psychological & in some cases physical pressures.
The closest American Pop Noir-as I call it-that is similar in American film might be Pulp Fiction.
So...if you were one of the many who enjoyed the oddities of Pulp Fiction then you certainly will see a few similarities-in Korean fashion-in the Revenge Trilogy!
Don't pass on foreign films just because of subtitles!
There is great film work done in other countries and the art stands for itself in any language!
