“Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and you weep alone.”
Directed by Park Chan-wook, this intense thriller follows a man seeking answers after 15 years of mysterious imprisonment.
Why these lines last: each one carries the film's central tension in a sentence — you can hear the scene without seeing it. That is what makes a quote travel beyond the people who watched the movie.
