After studying the masculinity of Korean society in her debut feature [Jealousy Is My Middle Name], director Park Chan Ok turns her eyes on the initiation of a girl who happens to live with her sister’s husband. Though the girl believes he killed her sister, she loves him against her deep hatred. He also has a contradiction. A former democratic activist student as well as a teacher at a night school, he stands by evictees to fight against ruthless evictions while having an affair with an older alumna from his college days. A suburban city of Seoul and a longtime military area, Paju is full of such contradictions, wandering souls without anchor, blurring phantoms awkwardly fathoming their depth of life. (LEE Sang-yong)
