Program Note
Ki-woo (Jung Ilwoo) is homeless. He drifts around highway rest stops with his pregnant wife, a young son, and a young daughter. Young-sun (Ra Miran) feels sorry for them. Highway Family builds a bridge between Kiwoo’s family who are financially troubled yet happy and Young-sun′s family who suffer from the wounds they can never get away from. The film is impressively warm and considerate as it casts its eyes on these families. Director Lee Sangmoon adopts various devices in order not to simply use a homeless family as a dramatic set up. The film listens to the stories of each family member, not to mention those of Ki-woo and Young-sun, with enough patience. The performance of such actors as Ra Miran, Jung Ilwoo, Kim Seulki, and Bek Hyunjin is brilliant, and the story development is well-paced, which gives the film a good balance. (SONG Kyung-won)
