Lady Vengeance | S3 E11 | Part 3 of The Vengeance Trilogy ties all three together

Lady Vengeance is Park Chan-wook’s final exploration into the theme of revenge, and yet again, he finds new territory to explore. It follows a woman hell bent on revenge after being released from prison. Known to most as a kind-hearted woman, her dedication to revenge knows no bounds.

The ending is grim and phenomenal, pushing the theme of revenge even further to ‘organised revenge’ or ‘democratic revenge’.

Lady Vengeance clearly attempts to link to the other two films in several ways (the theme of kidnapping is again explored), and as a result, it sometimes feels a bit forced. Nevertheless, it’s essential viewing for lovers of Oldboy.
