[Regarding scene in “Sympathy for Lady Vengeance”:] “I was inspired by "The Piano Teacher” (2001) - near the end of the film, there’s a scene where Isabelle Huppert’s character stabs herself in the chest. I liked her almost uncanny expression; [“The Piano Teacher”] isn’t a horror film but that scene was just as frightening, if not, more frightening than any scene in any horror film. I recalled that scene and I advised Lee Young-ae not to intentionally make her expression ugly or anything like that - she [Lee Young-ae] is not a vain person by any means but I told her not to worry about what she looked like, good or bad, for this shot. Was it that [Geum-ja] was happy, having accomplished her vengeance or did she regret it, realizing that in the end, it was an empty victory? Was it pain or was it joy? These were the things we wanted to show from the very beginning.“ - Park Chan-wook, movieroom
