There are a lot of visually stunning movies out there. However, few of them are ones that have a good plot, great character development and a smart direction. Here’s a list of 5 films that are great eye candy and won’t leave you feeling underwhelmed in terms of the story.

Movie Film Review by Sami in Chicago You already know how I feel about Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. But in case you didn’t know you can click on link and find out why. One of the 43634 reasons I do love it is how beautiful it looks. Guns, blood and forests look absolutely stunning. Read my review for a more detailed description. Lady Vengeance is done very beautifully. I sometimes forget how gory it is because at the same time it is incredibly beautiful.

Sympathy for Lady Vengeance

Let me tell you about why Lady Vengeance is one of the greatest films ever made. I say this over and over again, something magnificent happens when watching East Asian cinema, especially Korean cinema. Even more specifically are the masterpieces of Chan-wook Park. After all, he is responsible for why this cinematic romance started, when I wrote about Thirst. Film makers in East Asian cinema are able to communicate with me through so many other means than the spoken dialogue. That is exactly it: the films are so much more than just a script that’s being read. It is so beautiful, so inspiring. I wish there were other words that are not so trite for maybe then you might side with me and understand what it’s like to watch a film like Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. I feel that now, certain words are used more often which in turns takes away the sincerity of those particular words. Enough about this though. Let me tell you about why Lady Vengeance is one of the greatest films ever made.

Thirst (Bakjwi)

They say that it is always better in horror movies to leave things to the imagination of the viewer- to hide certain details from the audience in order to tickle their sense of imagination, dip into their fears and let that give birth to their darkest thoughts.

That was not the case when I watched Bakjwi, under the American title Thirst. Now playing at select theaters near you. Seems like the film makers did not want to spare you any details. There WILL be blood in this film and you WILL try to look away.

I have always been a fan of Korean cinema. After all, it did give birth to what may be my favorite film, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance. Thirst, honorably followed that track of fantastic cinema.
