DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS
Park Chan-wook South Korea

His films like 'Oldboy' and 'The Handmaiden' are masterclasses in elaborate revenge narratives exploring psychological obsession and moral ambiguity.

 Quentin Tarantino United States

He specializes in stylized revenge fantasies where protagonists methodically dismantle their enemies, most notably in 'Kill Bill' and 'Inglourious Basterds.'

 Denis Villeneuve Canada

His film 'Prisoners' deconstructs the revenge fantasy by examining how far ordinary people will go when justice fails them.
