Program Note
Hadong and Chaebok flee to the countryside and build their own house, living there as an old aged couple. The theme of this film is a phase of life as old people. The film quietly follows the couple’s daily routine. Crops grow outside as sunlight shines in through the ceiling window; even the change in the seasons can be read from here. And the couple’s old letters weave together human time with the cycle of nature. The 1980s saw Hadong and Chaebok at University, as members of labor movements, and as prisoners. Their letters contemplate this fierce era, their affection for each other, apologies to and appreciation for their families; the oblivion, embarrassment, agony and confidence flows as they read their letters written 30 years ago. Exploring present attitudes towards the past, and showing “We” are the center of the candlelight protests, Ha Dong Chae Bok: A Song of Two Humans is a multi-layered film connecting past and present through an ordinary couple’s love letters. (LEE Seung-min)
