A harrowing and provocative account of an oft-overlooked chapter in Korea’s deeply traumatic past
This profound film not only bravely dares to graphically delve into the psyche of the countless victims of unspeakable torture during the protracted ruthless thirty-year military dictatorship in South Korea, but soberingly, if not with some degree of ambivalence, skillfully asks if the perpetrators of such monstrously inhumane and unforgivable acts were, in fact, not monsters but rather merely depraved and rabidly ideological human beings. Understandably to even suggest such a controversial assertion, the natural reaction for so many who suffered at the hands of those depicted in this account would be to cry out with righteous indignation and horror, but I suspect the filmmakers perhaps take into consideration that a tendency to recognize perpetrators of such heinous acts as more than mere examples of gross human indecency and thus elevating them to some exceptional and ephemeral status, may serve an even greater detriment toward the future in addressing, or even preventing such unassuming “banality of evil” from going undetected.
