Generally speaking, I find most HK movies to be made with broad appeal in mind, Korean movies to be the most layered, and Japanese movies to be the most stylized.

by layered do you mean ultra stress inducing? :)
I took a Korean cinema class in an attempt to break my impression that all Korean movies are jacked up..but all it did was reinforce that impressions. I mean, they even have a WORD for "there is beauty in a woman's suffering" which I think explains a lot.

That's funny because I watched "Thirst" last night and I thought the exact same thing! It went from thriller to love story to comedy to horror to romance...
