If you loved White Valentine, try State of Violence
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Yang Yun-ho, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to White Valentine, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What State of Violence is
Seoul, post-Olympics. A slammed gate. Seven years was the sentence, but freedom calls louder from a prison van. Escaped convicts take hostages, turning the city into a theater of fear. Korean action cinema found new grit in the '00s.
