Breathless (Blu-ray) (First Press Limited Edition) (Korea Version)
Actor-turned-director Yang Ik Joon makes a splash with his 2009 feature debut Breathless. The acclaimed Korean indie has had quite a run on the festival circuit, picking up awards at Rotterdam, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Fantasia, and many other international film festivals. Yang, who wrote, directed, produced, and starred in the film, pulls no punches in his profile of an angry, broken man at life’s crossroads. Co-star Kim Kkot Bi (The Ghost Theater) also earned rave reviews for her portrayal of a tough schoolgirl wise beyond her years. When these two loners cross paths, what unfolds is an unlikely friendship that changes both their lives in surprising ways. Dark, harrowing, and deeply personal, Breathless deals very honestly with the issue of domestic violence, leaving a deep impression with its depiction of physical and psychological abuse, while also lighting a beacon of hope at the end of the tunnel.
Brutish, brooding debt collector Sang Hoon (Yang Ik Joon) grew up in a household destroyed by domestic violence. He witnessed his mother and sister’s deaths as a child, and continues to punish his father for the past. Raging through a life of violence and bitterness, Sang Hoon begins to change after he encounters Yeon Hee (Kim Kkot Bi), a foul-mouthed high school girl who’s going through some equally hard times.
