I agree — as much as I thought “A Tale of Two Sisters” was a quality film, I thought “Epitaph” was one of the most incredible films I’d ever seen. I just can’t find any particular fault with it. I was shocked to find it going not just unnoticed, but underrated and disliked by what seemed to be some of the more mentioned reviews. I have to say that it seemed to me that either a person likes movies with a more complicated structure and symbolic subtext or they just plain don’t. That’s not to say one viewer is more thoughtful than another, it’s just a different mode of thought. I wish reviewers would take this into account neutrally when reviewing films. With that said – how incredible is that? They not only worked symbolism into their backward structured psychological mystery, but just about every human emotion. It’s a real piece of work!

I agree with your review but I think this film is even better than “A Tale of Two Sisters” which is a great film in its own right. Is it just me or has “Epitaph” gone unnoticed everywhere? I haven’t read much hype for it anywhere, including Korea. Very underrated.

Wow that’s a lot of praise. I should really get around to watching this. I always appreciate your Korean film reviews!
