JungOk

About This Movie

The tone is introspective, even melancholic at times, with a slow burn that allows you to absorb Jungok’s emotional state. The atmosphere is quite intimate, almost claustrophobic, as she navigates her newfound reality. The unique premise of selling sanitary pads online is both poignant and absurd, effectively capturing her struggle with identity and societal expectations. Performances feel genuine, especially in the interactions between Jungok and the young girl, adding layers to the narrative. It's striking how this film weaves humor and pathos seamlessly, making it a distinctive exploration of aging and female experience in modern society.
