About This Movie

Odor (2019) is a peculiar exploration of curiosity and the unknown. It's this low-key drama where Yujin's quest to trace a mysterious odor leads her to a neighbor’s world, revealing unexpected layers of intimacy and tension. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing the viewer to sink into Yujin's contemplations. The film's atmosphere is thick with intrigue, and the performances, though subtle, carry a weight that lingers. There's a rawness to it, not relying on flashy effects but rather on the power of simple moments and interactions.
