Park Jung-bum : 2014
Sanda
Jung-cheol, a building labourer in the mountainous province of Gangwon, takes care of his niece and his mentally unstable sister. You earn as much as you work, and you live off that money. This simple proposition has always been a problem for Jung-cheol. At the soybean curd factory he went to work for in the bitter winter, he dreams of travelling to warm Philippines in spring; as long as he survives the winter making his portion of the soybean paste that he promised the boss. But the more he struggles to live, the worse it gets. And soon, the fermentation room turns musty with the black mold spreading from the thousands of fermented soybean lumps. From here on, it's a downward spiral. A provocative film which examines the fate of those at the bottom of South Korea's social ladder. Park Jung-bum's second feature premiered at Jeonju International Film Festival 2014, and screened in the Bright Future section at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2015.
