CGiii Comment

Sit back, relax and prepare yourself for some truly exceptional filmmaking...this has everything and more.

But, be warned...it's a long, punishing journey.

In essence, it's the story pf two boys battling with themselves, each other, their inner demons, society and school...aided and abetted by the bullies, the bullied, the betrayals and the betrayers.

Be patient...it takes a while to build...but, when it does...it explodes with fury and frustration.

Thankfully, the cruelty is as episodic as the tenderness...just when you sink back into your comfortable armchair, you are - bolt, straight-up - on the edge again.

The comment it makes upon the Korean education system is as scathing as it is disturbing...these teachers will make you squirm and scream...as they box and brand their students.

The two young leads do a remarkable job...we are privileged to bear witness...as their last vestiges of boyhood vanish...their future traces of manhood appear.

But...the scene-stealing star is the director...composed, thoughtful, intricate, en-pointe throughout...and, most importantly, challenging...cheering at violence, would you? Could you?

A masterful, monumental piece of work.

The(ir) Blurb...

Three teenage boys Yong-ju, Gi-Woong and Gi-Taek, were once best friends in middle school, but they become estranged from each other once they enter high school. While Yong-ju and Gi-Taek still remain close, Gi-Woong becomes a jjang (Korean slang term meaning "best"), one of the strongest fighters in the school, and begins to hang out with Seong-jin's gang (Seong-jin's parents are powerful figures, making him a bigwig among his schoolmates). Yong-ju becomes concerned when he finds out that Seong-jin's gang is mercilessly bullying Gi-Taek, an eccentric manhwa fan. Under intense pressure to get into a prestigious university because of his financially struggling single mother, Yong-ju develops an unlikely relationship with Gi-Woong, who tries to break away from Seong-jin. But when Gi-Taek learns that Yong-ju is gay, he betrays his friend and joins Seong-jin's gang in ostracizing him, telling them that Yong-ju has loved Gi-Woong for years.
