No, it was not The Raft of the Medusa, this boat… but almost! A marine tragedy produced and co-written by Bong Joon-ho, whose personality (black humor, pessimistic and cynical view of humanity) infuses the image, Sea Fog makes an extremely disturbing observation of the Korean soul, by examining the repressed impulses of the unsavory male protagonists with a chilling violence and a thick suspense.

This movie is still very vivid in my memory even after the six months plus since I viewed it. And I don’t think I will forget it anytime soon either. A very powerful portrait of not just the Korean soul, but what horror all men are capable of to protect themselves. Yuchun’s sensitive portrayal of Dong Sik is beautiful to watch.
