Kim Jee-woon

A ghost story, a gangster film, a revenge thriller and a western: Kim Jee-woon changes genre almost every time, and brings a lot of style to each. A Tale of Two Sisters brings two sisters home from a mental institution to a cold stepmother and a house full of strange events. In A Bittersweet Life a hotel enforcer is told to shadow his boss's young mistress. I Saw the Devil follows a secret agent who vows revenge on a psychopath, even if it makes a monster of him.
