Lee Chang-Dong’s cinema isn’t merely observed; it is deeply experienced, challenging viewers with its interplay of personal trauma and societal critique. This series delves into the filmmaker’s exploration of existential themes, presenting characters ensnared within the sociopolitical landscapes of modern South Korea, each wrestling with the search for meaning amid chaos. All films are Korean with English subtitles. Not rated.
