Park Chan-Wook's Stoker, is a psychological thriller that opened in early 2013, and flew totally beneath my radar.
One of the nice things about Blu-ray is our ability to visit those missed chances, and at $10 on Amazon, I grabbed it.
Bottom line, it's a quality film, with Mia Wasikowska in the lead, along with Nicole Kidman and Matthew Goode.
One of the things that I noted was the "internationality" of the cast, for a film set in Tennessee, or thereabouts. All with American accents.
Ms Wasikowska is Australian, as is Ms Kidman. Mr. Goode is English. Mr. Park is Korean, as is cinematographer Chung-hoon Chung, who presumably came along (to the betterment of the production) as part of Mr. Park's contingent.
Shot on film (35/3), and finalized in 2k, we must presume that the Blu-ray looks as intended.
The film is a Scott Free production, which will tell you something in advance.
