Program Note
Her life sits in a city that is in the midst of demolition. She lives in a house hanging from a giant crane and her urban life is difficult to balance like a house that trembles with only a slight movement. How will she survive in this greedy and poor city hidden behind it’s fancy appearance. How will she escape from her boyfriend who turns into a cat and comes to visit to eventually eats her? Director Park Jee-youn, who has portrayed women’s lack of identity and communication in her film, has a unique style filled with satire, humor, symbols and her style continues and deepens in her latest work Skin and Mind.
