Purgatoryo

About This Movie

Purgatoryo is a gritty dive into the underbelly of life and death, set against a backdrop that feels almost oppressive. The story of Ilyong, who meets his end at the hands of the police, unfolds in a funeral home that's as much a character as any of the living. Violet, the funeral director, is this fascinatingly corrupt figure, embodying survival in the bleakest of conditions. The atmosphere is thick with despair and moral ambiguity, as it explores themes of death and exploitation. The practical effects aren't overdone; they feel raw and real, which adds to the unsettling tone. Performances are striking, especially in how they convey the nuances of desperation and greed. It's distinctive for its unflinching look at what happens after death in a world that’s all too real.
