South River (1980)
In 1980, the south of the Han River is teeming with people and machines exuding heat. The landscape, where new apartments symbolizing urban development stand beside old, small, temporary-built “hamba” houses, is awkward. A husband chasing his wife with a knife, shouting curses as she runs out of the hamba house, powerfully depicts the weary lives of people amid the reckless destruction driven by development.
