Lady Vengeance (2005)
Doesn't quite live up to Oldboy, but blows Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance out of the water. This is a near perfect film - Chan-wook Park is easily one of the most talented storytellers working today. He tells an incredibly complex story through unconvential methods, and manages to draw the viewer into Geum-ja's quest for revenge.
Amazing visuals, lots of twists and enough moral ambiguity to really give you something to think about long after the credits roll. See it if you haven't.
