Quite memerising. The non linar storytelling threw me for a loop as I didn't expect it at the time but I thought it added depth to the twists and turns that would follow. The ambguity set up by the first act had a pay off once all was revealed. This was a pure artistic filmmaking at its finest.

The erotic vibes are heavy. Perhaps a bit cliche but served their purpose. One thing I found fasinating is how the the story was able to be protrected through these acts. Anything more will be spoilers.

Kim Tae-ri continues to impress with every performance. Hopefully that leads to stardom. Cho Jin-woong was wonderfully eccentric, making the perverted Uncle role his own. The subtle movements, the eyes,. The acting all round is up to par.

I'm intriuged by the rewatch value this has. I may need to watch the directors cut. That's a first.
