I can't help watching old movies through a modern filter. The melodrama, the aggressive soundtrack, the histrionics, the overacting, the heavy handed directing... I know I'm supposed to love it because it's black & white, old and foreign but honestly it just exhausts me.

Absolutely batshit series of events, playing more like a 90s erotic thriller than what I was expecting for the place and time. I'm not sure it was always the most coherent, and I would have chopped the first half hour of the movie. But there were a lot of wonderful things going on and it was worth watching.

Better than the 2010 remake, it's a cautionary tale about the hazards in the emerging, post war, Korean bourgeoisie.
