I just viewed this movie in Chennai International Film Festival. It was brutal! absolutely brutal. Its not for the faint heart. The director's 3 Iron is one of my favourite in the long list of movies. To be frank, I didn't expect such a treatment in Pieta. It was too strong! in the beginning but as the story goes into climax it was much easier to watch. The movie shows that gangsters are human beings after all. Love can change anything and in this movie parental love changes a man forever. I just want to know whether the director's films are accepted in Korea. Do Korean's feel their society is like this one depicted? His movies are philosophical and this one is no exception.
