Program Note

We have all had that feeling of unpleasant relief. The film expresses it viscerally, like a cold wind cutting your cheek. Death is the great equalizer, showing the irony of the expression “as long as it isn’t me” without need of dialogue. There is a sense of desolation as might be conveyed by a live action film. The sound of the radio adds to the tension. It makes us feel as if we are sitting right there and experiencing it together. There is power in such works that transcend modern times to reach both the past and the future. SEO Pyoungwon
