A Hard Day Kkeut kka ji gan da

Kim Seong-hun / South Korea / 2014 / 111 min / Korean

A thrilling, chilling South Korean neo-noir, peppered with ingenious twists and macabre comedy.

Called away from his mother's funeral on police business, Detective Ko Gun-soo speeds along a wet highway, barely managing to avoid hitting a passing beagle – and smashing into a human being instead. Panicked, Gun-soo makes a grievously questionable decision, hiding the pedestrian's corpse in his mother's casket. But just when Gun-soo thinks his hard day has drawn to a close, an anonymous phone call threatens to reveal the truth about what happened. Gun-soo is forced to take more drastic measures, only to find out that he's hit upon something bigger and darker than everything that came before, setting in motion a string of events that will push him deeper and deeper into a swamp of criminal activity.

»I could compare my movie to a piece of meat. You know there is always a bit of natural fat inside which makes it easier to digest and visually more beautiful. I think it is much better for the viewer to have two or three great scenes dotted with humour to lighten up the film.« (Kim Seong-hun)
