    Park Chan-wook is a legend, and I don’t use that term lightly or often. He is truly a cinematic legend through and through and deserves that title.

    He's turning 60 in 2 days (August 23rd). So best wishes in advance!
    The fact that he both stated that he wanted to create a nightmare and that he wanted it to feel like a comedy says a lot about from how many different angles he approaches a film, which is why they always have so many layers and so many legitimate ways to look at them and react to them. Masterful cinema.

    Saw this a few hours ago (I’ve been an avid fan since 2005, when I noticed the DVD on the bottom shelf at my local Blockbuster Video. Went into it totally blind and absolutely loved it). We were the first ones to arrive but I was so happy to see nearly half the theater occupied. Aside from the few brief comedic moments (like the hammer to the head scene), everyone was stone cold silent and stayed for the after-credits interview.

    Great characters with depth and nuances, a terrific plot, symbolic depictions and quotes that make you think, a heavy twist, ingenious analogies... and a soundtrack that simply goes through your marrow and legs!
    I am a cineaste through and through and have seen many "must-sees" of several decades. Plus, arthouse here and there from various genres.
    But this complete film is a milestone - an outstanding, relentless masterpiece that is still my personal number 1!
    Thank you, Mr. Park-Chan Wook for creating cinema on a whole new level.

      There's a great line from his movie Sympathy for Mr Vengence, a doctor is talking about a sick child and says "If I were a more optimistic doctor, I would say there is hope" Hilarious and awful. He is 100% aiming for both.

    I watched the movie for the first time thanks to the remaster yesterday and I am glad he says his intention was for it to be a comedy. It is a masterfully crafted mystery/ thriller with great action and well performed dramatic sequences, but it came across as a dark comedy at heart.
