South River (1980)

In 1980, rapid development transforms the southern banks of the Han River, with modern apartments rising alongside older, temporary homes. This jarring contrast reflects the difficult blend of tradition and progress during a period of intense change. A husband's violent pursuit of his wife through the crowded alleys offers a disturbing glimpse into the lives of those struggling to cope with this chaotic transformation. The scene powerfully illustrates their exhaustion and the human cost hidden beneath the promise of urban advancement.
