“Park Chan-wook trouve constamment des solutions de cinéma inédites pour recréer le monde instable de son personnage. Le cinéaste a le talent de souffler le chaud et le froid. Il distille les indices d’une crise existentielle subtile et profonde. C’est exactement ce qu’on attend d’un auteur, un vrai.”
Télérama
“Cette incroyable histoire de vengeance, sorte de pendant tragique à ” Kill Bill “, bénéficie d’une interprétation magistrale et d’une mise en scène impressionnante.”
Le Parisien
“Ce cinquième film de Park Chan-wook séduit grâce à la virtuosité d’une mise en scène époustouflante, à la représentation crue mais dénuée du voyeurisme de la violence et à la frénésie de la bande-son.”
