Soar

About This Movie

Soar (2016) is a quiet exploration of life amid the skyscrapers of South Korea, crafted with a contemplative tone. The young protagonist, caught in the daily grind of high rise construction, brings a certain melancholy to the narrative. The pacing feels deliberate, almost meditative, allowing viewers to ponder the implications of relentless urbanization. Practical effects and the atmospheric backdrop of bustling cityscapes blend seamlessly, creating a sense of place that is both familiar and alien. The film teeters on the edge of introspection, raising questions about the cost of progress and whether there's more beyond the concrete confines. It's not just about building homes, but the emotional landscapes we navigate in the pursuit of a meaningful existence.
