David Boo's directorial debut, Junho, is a remarkable film that offers a fresh and thought-provoking take on the Me Too movement. While most films of this genre tend to focus on either the victims or perpetrators, Boo has brilliantly chosen to focus on the bystanders, exploring the guilt and complicity that comes with inaction.
Wonju Jo delivers a stunning performance as Junho, a man struggling to escape the bitter memories of his past and his complicity in a Me Too scandal that destroyed his acting troupe. The film is split between the past and present, leaving the audience to piece together the events that led to Junho's current predicament. The vagueness of the film not only makes it more intriguing but also drives the point home that complicity involves everyone. Boo has created a timely and important film that offers a unique perspective on the Me Too movement, making it stand out from other films in the genre.
Junho's powerful message and Wonju Jo's exceptional performance make it a must-watch for anyone interested in timely and thought-provoking dramas. Boo's debut feature is one of the best films to come out this year and deserves wider recognition beyond the festival circuit.
