Glow Job

About This Movie

Glow Job presents an intriguing look into the underground world of male sexual cruising in Seoul from the 1960s to the 90s. It captures a raw, almost gritty atmosphere, bringing to life the important social spaces like Pagoda and Keukdong theaters that once buzzed with the energy of hidden encounters. The pacing is reflective, often allowing the viewer to sit with the stories and experiences shared. It's not just a documentary; it's a glimpse into a world where physical spaces shaped identities and communities. The film shifts focus to the digital age, contrasting the past with the virtual cruising scene today. The practical effects are minimal but effective, offering authenticity rather than glamor. This film feels like a conversation with history itself, deeply layered and rich.
