Program Note
Roberto who lost his wife in an accident and Alejandra, his teenage daughter, start a new life in Mexico City. Roberto finds a job as a chef and Alejandra seems to adjust to her school life well. However, her video taken with a male student at a party for fun is circulated on the internet and she is bullied by everyone. This film allows the audience to reflect on relationships and violence. At the beginning, the camera silently focuses on a car and the reason is revealed as the story goes by. Likewise, important elements of the film are expressed through silence and mise en scene rather than by dialogues. In sum, the film shows amazing moderation. Each frame seems to be tailor-made and appropriate and the characters′ acting is not exaggerated. For a husband who lost his wife and a daughter who lost her mother, it is not easy to go back to their normal life. What the father does at the end is a ruthless choice made by the director describing human psychology. This last scene clearly demonstrates the talent of the director who won the Prix Un Certain Regard at Cannes Film Festival after making only two feature films. (RHEE, Soue-won)
