Not sure what to think.
Very hard to decide a rating for this. Somewhat slow and boring, but also very captivating and haunting. The film definitely left an impression and left me thinking about the ending after finishing the film.
Cinematography and editing was phenomenal and beats most films I've watched in that aspect. The film was full of creative shots and scene transitions.
I think the dialogue and writing has a very poetic quality to it and is full of symbolisms that would work better if I knew korean better. In some films you truly lose a lot of the original meaning with a translation, and this film definitely seems to be one of those.
Not among Park Chan-Wook's best but still very high quality, with great acting, cinematography and editing. I enjoyed the film, but the overly slow and somber style of the film is something I'm not a huge fan of (in general, not just this film).
Edit after a few days: Rating lowered to 6,5, the film was just too dark, slow and disturbing to me unfortunately.
