Ep. 23 - I Saw The Devil

Synopsis

With our third episode about a South Korean movie, the country seems to get a common status in our podcast. At the end of our talk of Thirst I gave some movie recommendations which I thought my mother would like. And the one movie that shined out specifically was Kim Jee-woon's I Saw the Devil. Focusing on a bloody revenge story with a serial killer it is safe to say that this is so far our most darkest and violent movie we have talked about in our podcast. But it gives us also weirdly the catalyst to dive into the subject of cultural examination through film making. Next to interpreting the South Korean culture through the visualization of the cruel events we also get to go deeper discussion about Asian actors in Hollywood and the meaning of satisfaction in revenge. Spoilers: We don't really go into the story aside from the premise, so it is very safe to listen to the discussion even if you have not seen the movie.
