Submarine Sickness

About This Movie

Submarine Sickness is this quiet, introspective piece that really explores emotional disconnection. Ji-eun, the protagonist, is pretty much living in a world of muted colors, you know? Her inability to feel, stemming from childhood trauma, creates this tension that’s almost palpable. The pacing is deliberate, giving you time to really sit with her struggles. There's a strong atmospheric quality to it, especially in the classroom scenes where her interactions with a classmate sort of stir something deep within her, but it’s all so subtle. Performances are raw and unrefined, which adds to the overall authenticity. It’s a film that lingers in your mind long after, and I think that’s what makes it stand out among the typical drama fare.
