La Pègre

You're a small-time hustler scraping by in Seoul's back alleys and then the country's heartbeat starts to crack under decades of upheaval. Your choices narrow with each passing regime. The film settles in the silence between punches, a genre frame dissolving into portrait of a nation weathered from within.
