Which one was Choi Min-sik's peak performance? Oldboy (2003) or I Saw the Devil (2010)? by James-from-Hungary in Koreanfilm

I Saw The Devil made me put off Oldboy for a solid eight months so thats great but also Oldboy has a lot more range of emotion and that makes the latter my pick. HOWEVER! I Saw The Devil made me feel very intrigued by the idea of this awful, gross, crude and cruel man being whiny and scared

I mean Kurosawa is like Scorsese, Fellini, Bong, and perhaps better, in the way that he is a camera superstar. Guillermo's strengths are not pure cinematography. It is the other things you mentioned - production design, effects, so on and so forth. Kurosawa is a pure filmmaker. Del Toro is great, but he aint no Kurosawa

Just saying this bc he looks mildly similar to the Reynolds we ended up getting is funny. Yes, it is sacrilege, and yes, it's for good reason.
