Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance

From the Director of Old Boy and JSA: Joint Security Area comes this ferocious tale of revenge. A young deaf man is talked into a kidnapping by his activist girlfriend in order to pay for the kidney operation that will save his dying sister. However, when an unexpected tragedy irrevocably changes their plan for the worse they become the targets of one man's unrepentent vengeance.

Oldboy:

Winner of the Jury Grand Prize at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.

Oh Dae-Su, a young drunk businessman, is kidnapped off the streets of Soeul one rainy evening and locked in a crummy hotel room, with only a television for company. Each day he is fed the same fried dumplings, each day he tries to work out who would have done this to him and each day he learns nothing - except from the television. He watches as world events pass him by and how his wife is murdered and he becomes prime suspect in the investigation. Each day - more dumplings and no answers. Then suddenly, after fifteen years, Oh Dae-Su is inexplicably released. Who imprisoned him? Why did they imprison him? What will Oh Dea-Su do to them when he finds them? If he finds them?
Park Chan-Wook's (JSA , Sympathy For Mr. Vengeance) ferocious, stylish and utterly brilliant tale of revenge arrives on DVD. The challenge for best movie of the 2004 starts here.

Lady Vengeance:

The cinematic flair and narrative surprises that marked Park Chan-Wook's Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance and Oldboy continue in this third and concluding part of the director's thematically-linked trilogy of revenge. Intense and inventive, the film follows the progress of beautiful, impassive Lee Geum-ja (Lee Young-Ae) after she's released from prison having served 13 years for the kidnap and murder of a young boy. Once on the outside, she hooks up with some former cellmates, a preacher who thinks she's an angel, the detective who originally arrested her and the daughter she gave up for adoption, gathering around her all the people needed to carry out an elaborate plan of revenge. Her target is kindergarten teacher Mr. Baek (Oldboy star Choi Min-Sik), while her weapon(s)-of-choice are unexpected and highly personal. This is striking and ghoulishly entertaining stuff, a highwire act poised between horror, tragedy, comedy and exploitation. With the aid of Oldboy Director of Photography Jeong Joeng-Hun, who employs some neat tricks and brings a vibrant beauty to the dark proceedings, Park ensures there's never a dull moment.

Excellent! I've been looking for a bargain on this for a year, but it's always been 65 yoyos or more.

That's an excellent price for this trilogy - I snapped it up first thing this morning. Last time I looked for it it was around 70 quid on Play or CD-Wow

Aye Kero

If it is not spoiling it, what is the fade to white version of Lady Vengeance? And a stupid question but would all the audio commentary be in Korean?

Thanks Ruu! I had only checked the prices of this at the beginning of last week so surprised to see they had dropped on Cdwow.

As to the question of fade to white version- check here.
The site has very detailed reviews of all the versions at this link including some comparisons between the orginal release and the Vengeance trilogy edition.
