Country: South Korea
Directed by Kim Jee-woon
Normally I should refuse to mention such a brutal , exploitative and sadistic film in this list as the depiction of violence seems to be the only reason of its existence. However, the sadism of the film works in many levels in a way that 'I saw the devil' ends up been almost an essay about the deepest and ugliest side of the human nature. Not only the main character-good guy comes to enjoy to torture getting revenge , but the viewers of the film too ,as the plot unrolls , they are craving as well for more tortures and more depiction of pain. To watch the film gives you a guilty pleasure: you end up been beast like the ones in the film. Needless to say that technically the film is flawless, but is questionable if this covers the feeling of emptiness that gives you
