The Bacchus Lady offers a gritty, yet poignant look at life on the fringes of Seoul, focusing on So-young, an elderly sex worker. The film has this raw atmosphere, where you can almost feel the worn streets of the city. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing viewers to sink into So-young’s world, which is both heartbreaking and tender, especially in her efforts to care for a young Korean-Filipino child she meets. It’s really interesting how the film explores themes of loneliness and survival, as her past clients come knocking, reminding her of life choices made. The performances are quite striking; they carry an authenticity that’s hard to shake off. It’s not just a story of struggle but also an exploration of connection in unexpected places.
