The Description of Bankruptcy (Lee Kang-hyun, 2006)

Background radio-talk-show chatter and news programs were made for the tide of moving crowds in which everyone’s every move is seen but no one is looking, and which flood the gaps between the high-rise buildings in foggy Seoul. People working like crazy only to be swallowed up by debt, the 386 Generation who fought for democratization in the struggles of 1987 waxing nostalgic, the national economy ballooning even as it forgets its victims in the name of creating a better society. When the layers of posters that are the surface of society are ripped off, what will we see underneath? With a rhythmical editing style and indifferent, ironic narration, this film turns the dry climate that threatens to evaporate individuals from society into a poetic guerilla video.
