Night Market

About This Movie

Night Market is this gritty little gem that brings the dark underbelly of Seoul's nightlife right into your living room. Do-han, our main guy, navigates his life hustling Chinese tourists in the Dongdaemun night market. The hand-held camera work makes everything feel immediate, with these close-ups that really pull you into the tension of the moment. There’s a rhythm to the editing that almost feels like a heartbeat, increasing the stakes as Do-han meets Gwang-ho, who’s got his own agenda. The film explores themes of desperation and survival, and the performances have this rawness that resonates. It's not polished by any means, but that’s what gives it its authenticity. You feel the chaos of the market, the pulse of the city, the choices that lead to dark roads. Definitely a unique watch.
