Chi to hone (2004)

English title: Blood and Bones.

A panel of the life of Korean immigrants in Japan, from 1923 onwards, taking as its focal point a man and his interactions with his women and children. The film shows how, after disappearing during World War II, he starts a business from scratch and, first as a seafood producer, then as a loan shark, builds a fortune.

An analysis of man at his most brutal and egotistical, in screaming details of rape, beating, avarice, exploitation, and of course the reverse of the coin, that is, abject passivity and economic interest, out of need or greed.

Rating: 60
