Staff Pick: Lady Vengeance (35mm)

Mabie’s Staff Pick!

The capper of Park’s Revenge Trilogy follows a woman wrongfully imprisoned for kidnapping and killing a six-year-old boy, as she meticulously lays the groundwork for an elaborate plan of retribution, then sets it into merciless motion on her release. An ingeniously plotted thriller, slowly peeling back layers to reach its unnerving final revelation.

“Lady Vengeance is his most sullen and patient film, and yet it’s breathless pop filmmaking, narratively mercurial, viscerally traumatic, and thematically infernal.” –Village Voice

Must end June 12!
