The Blossom of Youth?

Kyung-Haw SON navi Ji-min 2009 South Korea Documentary color 83min Korean Beta SP
In this documentary about documentary-making, the 27-year-old director begins to make her first documentary that focuses on the angst of the youth in their twenties. She starts the journey of shooting which seems never to be short for ensuing obstacles. Her crew members are: Min-hee, an office worker who has earned her own living for seven years; Min-sik, who works at a bar; and Seung-hee, an assistant writer in a broadcasting station whom the director met at a social protest. The lives of young people in their insecurity are well portrayed in the process of documentary-making, rather than the finished documentary itself.
The film also poses a number of questions: “if our film is appreciated by ourselves alone, but not by others, then would we be able to continue doing this?” “If our dreams finally come true, would this feeling of angst go away?” Answers to these questions do not really matters, for the question are critical part of our youth. The film audaciously tells us that young days are not bitter days, but blossoming days.
