Program Note
Like Hong Kong in Love Will Tear Us Apart (1999) or the dystopian city in All Tomorrow’s Parties (2003), Likwai Yu focuses on another city to offer another look into the lives of fragile drifters. This time, they are in Liberdade which means ‘liberty’ in Sao Paulo, the boiling pot of Japanese, Chinese and Korean immigrants. Threatened by dirty cops and their rival gangs, a rich underworld big shot Yuda and his son Kirin want to find another way for peace. Yuda hides in a jungle after faking his death in prison, but Kirin suffers from his obsession that one day he’ll die wretched. As his life is endangered further and further, Kirin’s anguish drives him into the jungle to meet up with Yuda. Their lives keep on rolling like a kind of pan-Asian diaspora. (KIM Ji-Seok)
