Original Title:

King Of Pigs, The

Challenging conventional views of heroism and the morality of vengeance, this noirish Korean anime makes unflinching use of punishing violence in flashing back to show how bullying blighted the lives of two classmates, before a third confronted their privileged tormentors.

A violent Korean anime with real teeth.
