A rare opportunity to see this masterful South Korean film, winner of over 13 much lauded awards at international film festivals (including the prestigious Rotterdam International Film Festival), which unfortunately did not get a braod release in the UK.

 Sang-hoon (Yang Ik-june) is a lowlife gangster, a debt collector exercising thuggish ways to collect his money. The recipient of nothing but anger since his childhood, he expresses himself through violence. When he finally encounters someone who can stand up to him, feisty school-girl Yoon-hee (Kim Kkobbi, recipient of multiple Best Actress awards for this role) they become unlikely friends. This is a tough, painful and sobering film that won't leave you with much to feel positive about, but by no means one of mindless violence.
