Azalea

About This Movie

So, 'Azalea' dives deep into a really poignant slice of history, doesn't it? It's about Yoon Han-bong, this fascinating figure tied to the Gwangju May 18 Uprising—last wanted man, mind you. The pacing’s quite contemplative, letting the weight of those events settle in. The atmosphere feels heavy but also hopeful, especially with the scenes of Pungmul performances in the streets, which adds a unique cultural flair. It's not just a documentary; it’s a testament to resilience and remembrance. The fact that it’s directed by someone unknown adds a layer of intrigue; you wonder about the choice to keep the filmmaker in the shadows. Definitely offers a fresh perspective on activism and memory, and how one man can inspire a movement.
