Body of Light

About This Movie

So, Body of Light, huh? It’s this intriguing blend of drama and mystery. You’ve got Hanna, a Korean-American adoptee, waking up in Chuncheon, completely disoriented. The pacing is kind of slow but in a way that lets the tension build nicely. As she finds a missing person flyer, it pulls her into this web of secrets surrounding a death that feels almost spectral. I mean, the way the film deals with themes of identity and karma is quite engaging. The performances are solid, and there's this raw, atmospheric vibe that hangs over it. The practical effects here—when they choose to use them—really add to that unsettling feel. It’s distinctive, for sure, especially in how it straddles the line between life and death. You get drawn into Hanna's journey, which feels both personal and universal.
