It's certainly not his best, but it's a "comeback" after his accident on the set of Dream (2008). If you see his documentary Arirang (2011) it makes sense that he would shoot this in digital and with the little money he had, it's good that he's working again, but Pietà is more of a return to form. Again I don't think it's bad (is there a bad KKD film?), but I just expect more from a KKD film. The usual themes of stalker/voyeurism are there so if you're into that

Mavis, I'm a married man!

accident?? what happened? i'm not following everything up close i must say... found it weird he hadn't made film in so long...
i'll try finding this anyway (if you know a link permaybehaps? ^^) cuz you're right, IS there a bad KKD film? think not ;)
as hard a it is to choose, my top 3 would be:
1. Time
2. Bin Jip (3-Iron)
3. Dream
what's yours?

EDIT:
looked it up. wow, didn't know that. i also need to find Arirang esp now i read what it's about.
still, could you give me a short synopsis about Amen pls?

its not bad, just like a experimental about people who looking for something .Maybe you can watch it online, just google it because KKD have state that there will be no dvd release for amen, this is his fun project after his long time hiatus. Just google it.
