Sometimes silence is when we scream the loudest. Lee Chang Dong continues to show life at its most terrifying, whilst surrounded by the ordinary.

This attention to life reverberates between the oddly beautiful sight of melancholy, and a desperate plea to be free of such a wretched sense.

Peppermint Candy 1999
This film is hard to watch in so many ways, it comes with a great sadness and regret by nature.

What that means is different for everyone, and it most certainly is going to be different than what it meant for Yong-ho. Time winds through those tracks differently for everyone.
This film isn’t an unforgivable excuse or an unwanted explanation: its a mournful reflection.
