Dirty Romance
Written & Directed by Sang-woo Lee
South Korea, 2015
Dirty Romance is reprehensible, disturbing, and utterly compelling. Director Sang-woo Lee’s second entry into Fantastic Fest is a grungy affair that isn’t for the faint of heart. The South Korean provocateur has created something decidedly honest and ugly about the fringes of society. Everywhere Sang-woo looks, there is anguish and pain. Yet, there is also love, dedication, and tenderness. Dirty Romance is unforgettable, in every wonderful and terrible sense of the word.
Dirty Romance is a story about the desperate people who care for those that everyone else has abandoned. The only thing greater than their abiding love is the festering resentment over a life sacrificed. Their days are filled with unreciprocated affection, unappreciated toiling, and unimaginable loneliness. It’s the life that nobody wants to think about, yet is only one unforeseen tragedy away. In other words, it’s the worst case scenario.
