I believe that the Koreans' "Three Symphony of Revenge" had a deep influence on Almodovar, especially "Old Boy" which came out in 2003, or Kim Ki-duk's masochistic works.
The plot is unexpected, the gothic climax, much better than the Korean director. Of course, success is also Xiao He and Xiao He is also Xiao He, and the plot is curious and easy to be criticized. Some people will hate it because the scale is too large, and some people will lose their favor by guessing the bottom of the puzzle too early.
In the processing of details, it is still a little rough compared to the director of the East. Many details can be left blank, but Western cultures may prefer to be more intuitive and prefer to provide a strong picture impact to the audience. The ending is a bit cumbersome. I always thought that Vincent was just a plaything for the protagonist. Although the plot develops with time, but once the protagonist dies, this shocking and terrifying tragedy should also come to an end. The director continued to portray the scene of Vincent returning home, which was a bit superfluous.
I have to praise the translation of the title of the film is really good, it will increase the B-level of the whole film by a whole star.
