    ★★★★½

    goddamn. absolute tragedy. loved it. 

    despite park chan-wook’s track record with violent movies, this one thrived in its subtlety and masterful storytelling.

    notes:
    - seo rae was such an effective and conniving deceiver, yet was so genuinely passionate
    - god the mountains and sea metaphor is so good.
    - CINEMATOGRAPHY AND TRANSITIONS!!!! beautiful.

    best body horror movie i've seen (not that i've seen many)

    had my jaw dropping for a whole third of the movie
    absolutely disgusting, visceral, and doesn't hold back
    loved everything: the style and the music, the SOUND EFFECTS THAT JUST EVISCERATE YOUR BRAIN, the plot, the PRACTICAL EFFECTS

    felt bad for elisabeth, loved/hated sue, absolutely GOBSMACKED with *her*

    terrible racist depiction of the japanese
    lackluster chemistry that was simply just an affair between two married people
