Program Note
Dae-shik is the leader of a group of homeless people. One day, Suk-won, an ex-stock broker, who left his job after going bankrupt, joins the group. Dae-shik who is gay, falls in love with Suk-won at first sight, but hides his feelings from Suk-won, who is only preoccupied with escaping from his homeless state. Dae-shik, Suk-won, and a woman who is in love with Dae-shik, embark on a long but hopeless journey. The bleak, yet lyrical images highlighted through the rough texture of the screen, takes the film from a sad tale of a gay man in love to an elegy of a modern man who has lost love and a place called home. Hwang Jung-min gives an impressive performance as Dae-shik through unconstrained releases of emotion, evoking a sense of compassion. Furthermore, the cinematography that captures various spaces in Korea with unusually bleak touches is extraordinary.
Director
Kim In Sik
Born in 1960. Kim In-sik graduated from Paris Film School E.S.E.C (Ecole Superieure d’Etudes Cinematographiques) with an E.S.E.C diploma. After ten years of preparing his first feature film, he finally debuted with Roadmovie. When the film was released, it generated a lot of discussion because of its graphic homosexual scenes.
