KANG Je-kyu | 1983 | Fiction | Color | DCP | 12min 41sec
SYNOPSIS
The film criticizes an aspect of industrialization and materialism through portraits of young men who came to Seoul in the early 1980s. Starting with a young man who is agonizing on a train heading to the city, it cinematically displays the dreams, ideals, desires, and frustration of youth by cross editing two young men; one makes counterfeit money and the other writes something. The psychological description through a picture diary is impressive and the long shot is artistically used. The film won Best Cinematography Award at the 9th SIFF in 1983 for its spectacular filming of trains.
