Peppermint Candy
Told in reverse chronology, a man retraces the tragic circumstances of his life prior to his poignant suicide attempt.
Rewinding from highlights of his idealistic youth, through to various occupations as a soldier, police office, and financial investor also marred by social and political complications of South Korea’s recent history. Lee Chang-dong’s (Burning, Oasis) sophomore film is driven by harrowing melancholy and accelerated his status from novelist to international art film sensation.
