Hon-ja
Alone
Su-min has had a strange day. After witnessing a vicious attack on the rooftop across from his, he was hunted down by the criminals and bludgeoned to death with a hammer. The weird thing is he woke up, physically fine, naked, and in the center of town. Su-min finds himself wandering through a rambling, decaying cityscape, filled with stairways to nowhere, twisted alleyways, and unfamiliar houses, until his perpetrators inevitably find him again and again. Each time he wakes up in a different area of this maze-like neighborhood, questioning his never-ending existence, unable to wake up from this incessant nightmare.
Filmed in an underdeveloped part of Seoul and using dynamic long takes, Park Hong-min delivers a mind-altering psycho-thriller, pushed along by a unique narrative structure and a beautifully claustrophobic visual style that tangles the viewer in one man’s descent into paranoia.
