I saw this film at Sitges Cinema festival and, nearly everybody was delighted, but me. I was really disappointed because i saw one year before old boy and i could not help to think about it as i was seeing this new film. Lady has sometimes an incomprehensible narration and, i think, that its black humor is not very funny. I found that it was less violent than old boy but its violence and woman s revenge is a bit insane. Nevertheless, the pictures and way of filming keeps on being superb. The plot is , also, slow, and i think that it is hard for the spectator to put himself in the place of the main character. It's interesting however to see how Chan Wook takes similar places in the two films, for example schools and the prisons. Also, the drawing of Wook of the main character shows a woman who needs a redemption, searched in revenge. I would recommend this film, but not to be compared with Old Boy because if it is the case, i think that that could cause a bit of disappointment. I give it a 7 .
