Film review: Stoker

Stoker (18)

HHH

Dir: Park Chan-wook

With: Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman

Runtime: 98 minutes

OF all the premieres at the Glasgow Film Festival, Park Chan-wook's slow-burn, noirish thriller probably caused more arguments in the bar afterwards than any other. One couple I eavesdropped on (sorry folks) were torn between thinking it was out and out dreadful (him), or the most gorgeous film of the festival (her). Either way, it is a picture you won't forget easily.
