is this good?

Yeah, but it's probably the most straight forward movie in Park Chan-wook's filmography since "Joint Security Area". Most of his movies have fukkery galore (and this one does too, to an extent) but it's a straight up period piece drama. With lesbians.

I would say yeah because

he had an obsession with women acting out scenes from his stories. Otherwise the octopus would be kinda random.

i figure some girl got hit with it not necessarily the aunt... but idk they did go out of their way to show that picture in the book... I knew an octopus was down there too when they showed it because that was so random..I just don't remember the aunt speaking on an octopus in her story telling. Also do you think he possibly killed the uncles body guards as well with the 3 cigarettes...? I know he got back to the uncle and he still got tortured but there must have been a reasoning why he tried to smoke them out

He just wanted to die before he got tortured more, escape was never an option.

It's funny you mention that because I just read an article comparing the two movies. They asked Park Chan-wook how he got those scenes without the actresses hating him (because Abdellatif Kechiche the director of "Blue Is The Warmest Color" got shyt on by his two lead actresses) and he said "I just asked women for advice on the sex scenes" as opposed to telling them what to do.
