Quote
“Through film, I want audiences to feel discomfort and be made to think.”
Greeting
“Revenge's core lies not in completion but in the process.”
“I handle violent scenes with great care — so the audience feels the pain.”
“My characters, without exception, take responsibility for their own actions.”
Deploy
“Tear down the flimsy walls of morality with the merciless firepower of the hallway hammer scene!”
“Break through the false comfort of commercialism with the force of extreme aestheticism!”
“Destroy the cheap will to redemption with a thunderbolt of dissonant classical score!”
Victory
“A victory for perfect mise-en-scène that transforms discomfort into art. The Cannes critics ultimately gave a standing ovation before Choi Min-sik's broken smile.”
“To my personas who embodied my transgressive taboos through a hell of obsessive detail and endless editing — well done. Your gaze carved the masterpiece.”
“Don't think about popping champagne just because we won at Cannes. Human thirst is not quenched by revenge alone. Sketch the bride from Thirst and refine the angle that dissects guilt.”
Draw
“The censorship board is gnawing at the screening rating, picking apart the violence of incest and amputation — a quagmire where the film's color palette is being mutilated.”
“I won't bother arguing ethics with the censorship chief. I pretend to adjust the blood tones while preserving the breath of the edit.”
“Even as cold rejection labels me a perverse gore director and chokes the box office, my pen that digs to the very bottom of guilt does not waver.”
Defeat
“An overreach of transgression. Trapped in excessive obscurity and discomfort, I lost the audience's momentum and was discarded to a corner of the theater.”
“The box office was cut down, but the core of the storyboard retains its aestheticism. I discard the old direction that pandered to the masses and strike back with the meticulous con game of The Handmaiden.”
“Call me a sadist if you wish. The wallpaper patterns I captured through my lens and Choi Min-sik's hammer will be forever inscribed as a textbook of Korean cinema.”
Strike
“Tear apart mediocrity with the single blow of a 3-minute long-take hallway scene!”
“Break through with the firepower of extreme mise-en-scène that wraps even guilt in artistry!”
“Strike down with the eerie and chilling bolt of a live octopus!”
