Made in China

About This Movie

So, 'Made in China' is this quiet drama that really digs into the life of an eel farmer named Chen. He smuggles himself into Korea, which feels pretty intense, just to show that his eels are safe for consumption. The pacing is a bit slow, but it builds this almost suffocating tension. It’s not flashy, just raw and honest, you know? The performances are solid, particularly the lead, who captures that desperation well. It’s got a gritty atmosphere, reflecting the struggles of rural life and the lengths one goes to for family. Definitely distinct for its subject matter, and how it tackles food safety issues without becoming preachy.

Focuses on agricultural struggles.Explores cultural and food safety themes.Gritty realism and strong lead performance.
