A South Korean drama infused with the honesty of NeoRealism and Truffaut’s humanism.
While nine year old Yeonglim minds her mentally handicapped brother, her exminer father struggles to cope with the loss of his job, and a lack of compensation. Setting Truffaut’s respect for a child’s interiority within the landscapes and silences of South Korea’s economically dispossessed, Sooil’s film stands as a startlingly poetic exfoliation of South Korea’s perceived prosperity. A formal beauty as crisp as onyx in Inchon’s sunlight.
