Pietà is a 2012 South Korean film. The 18th feature written and directed by Kim Ki-duk, it depicts the mysterious relationship between a brutal man who works for loan sharks and a middle-aged woman who claims that she is his mother, mixing Christian symbolism and highly sexual content.
It made its world premiere in the competition line-up of the 69th Venice International Film Festival, where it won the Golden Lion.[9][10] It is the first Korean film to win the top prize at one of the three major international film festivals — Venice, Cannes and Berlin.
The title refers to the Italian Pietà, signifying depictions of the Virgin Mary cradling the corpse of Jesus.
