Oishii Man

About This Movie

Oishii Man is a poignant exploration of loss and the relentless pursuit of dreams, all wrapped in a delicate tapestry of sound and silence. Hyeon-seok, once vibrant with musical promise, finds his world distorted by Meniere’s syndrome. The atmosphere is thick with melancholy as he escapes to Monbetsu, inviting viewers into the quiet beauty of Hokkaido's landscapes. There's a rawness to the performances that feels genuine, almost unpolished. The pacing allows for reflective moments, capturing the essence of longing and resilience. The interplay of music, or the lack thereof, serves as a backdrop to Hyeon-seok's internal struggles, creating a uniquely immersive experience. It’s not just about the music; it’s the silence that speaks volumes.

Atmospheric exploration of sound and silence · Engaging performances that feel genuine · Unique setting in Hokkaido adds depth
