Between

About This Movie

So, 'Between' is this intriguing documentary that really dives into the life of In-hi Hwang, a 28-year-old who suddenly finds herself paralyzed in her upper body, with no clear reason why. The film has this haunting atmosphere, capturing her struggle and the family misfortunes that seem to pile on, which she interprets as some sort of curse. I mean, the pacing is a bit contemplative, allowing you to really sit with her journey. And then there's the shamanic element, as she seeks out Hae-kyung Lee. The themes of destiny and spiritual awakening are palpable here, and the performances, especially from In-hi, feel genuine and raw. It’s a unique mix of personal narrative and cultural exploration, you know? Definitely stands out in the doc scene.

Interesting exploration of paralysis and curses. · Strong focus on personal narrative. · Cultural themes through shamanism.
