Try to Remember

About This Movie

Try to Remember is a poignant documentary that captures the life of Lee Nan-young, whose voice still resonates with the haunting beauty of 'Tears in Mokpo.' It's fascinating to see her rise in the 1930s through archival footage and interviews, especially her partnership with the composer Kim Hae-song. The film’s pacing feels reflective, allowing us to absorb not just the music but the weight of history—liberation, creativity, and loss. The atmosphere is rich with nostalgia, and the performances are raw, connecting the past with the present in a way that feels very personal. This isn’t just a musical biography; it’s a meditation on memory and the scars of time, making it stand out in the documentary landscape.
