Comments

  1. Nina: Lee Chang-dong doesn't do subtle, and that's a huge part of the film's charm still
  2. Nova: this whole exploration of privilege feels so deliberate and patient, nice work from chang-dong
  3. Glitch Comet: what's interesting is how the director handles the privilege and entitlement of the documentary filmmaker, making it clear she doesn't always see the complexities of her subjects' lives
  4. Lunafalk: seen this before but lee chang-dong's always a wild card. his films are usually so grounded in reality, it's interesting to see him tackle something like this
  5. Glitch Serpent: you think you can make a movie about class conflict from the top down and still call it realistic?
  6. Ember Wolf: finally a director willing to take on the privileges of privilege this film is like a punch to the gut in the best way
  7. Umbra Beacon: Lee Chang-dong always seems to be probing at the boundaries of social class and how it affects our lives
  8. Webernoah: I get the feeling there's more to the documentary aspect than what the trailer lets on. Can anyone speak to how it balances its character study with a commentary on social class?
  9. Velvet Drift: Lee's themes are always so nuanced but this one feels like he's reaching a bit. The setup is compelling though. 🙃
  10. Onyx Drift: waited for lee chang dong to tackle this kind of complex domesticity
  11. Elias: i'm intrigued by how lee chang-dong handles the complexities of class privilege here, but i'm still waiting to see if it's more than just clever narrative wrangling
  12. Sana: haven't seen anyone really mention the supporting cast yet, and they're what keep this film from feeling overly melodramatic
