ABOUT THE FILM: 

In Korean with English subtitles. 

Yongho (Sul Kyung-gu) stares down an oncoming train as twenty years of his life flash before his eyes. Proceeding to move backward in time, Lee’ Chang-dong’s acclaimed second directorial feature rewinds the protagonist’s loss of humanity – from his fraught, self-hating middle age through his callow teens. The moments in between these events, as seen through the lens of Yongho’s oppressive struggles, mirror South Korea’s traumatic political history during the late 20th century.
