X

About This Movie

So, 'X' from 1983 is this intriguing drama that touches on some heavy themes of isolation and existential dread. You've got Soo-ok, who find herself in this surreal situation after a dream, meeting Dong-sik at a swimming pool. It's kind of a character study, you know? Dong-sik, an orphan, really struggles with his reality, and the film captures that emotional turmoil quite well. The pacing is deliberate, allowing you to marinate in their interactions. There's something about the atmosphere—sort of melancholic but also strangely hopeful. The performances feel raw, almost improvisational at times, which adds to the film's charm. It’s distinct, really—definitely not your typical 80s fare. Just a fascinating piece of cinema worth considering for its themes and tone.
