(Hwanghae), Na Hong-jin / ROK, 2010
original version / Czech subtitles, 140 min
A taxi driver living in the Korean province in China sends his wife to earn some money in Korea but later receives no message from her. Tormented by jealousy, he accepts a local gangster’s offer to arrange his journey to Seoul on condition that he kills somebody there. The hero thus becomes the target of the police, the slick city mafia and the beastly redneck gangsters. The traditional thriller theme of an ordinary man, who finds himself in a situation which is beyond his control, develops into an intensive mixture of tragical drama and tough action.
