My Own Breathing

About This Movie

So, 'My Own Breathing' is this deeply moving documentary that wraps up BYUN Young-joo's trilogy on comfort women from WWII. It's just intense, really. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative at times, allowing you to soak in the stories and emotions of these grandmothers. What stands out is how BYUN captures their everyday lives, juxtaposing the weight of their pasts with the simplicity of their current routines. It’s raw, a little rough around the edges, but it resonates. The personal interviews are very impactful, making you sit with their truths. It’s not just a history lesson; it’s a human experience that lingers with you long after. Quite an emotional journey, no doubt.
