Green Fish

This landmark Korean film finds our hero, Mak-dong discharged from the military and returning home to find his village transformed into a city. Confused, alone and alienated he drifts into the shady world of organised crime, which offers some stability and familiarity in its codes of honour and respect. However morality comes crashing down through the complicated love triangle which develops with his gangland boss and his boss’s mistress, all the while as the criminal empire itself starts to come apart at the seams.

    dated Korean ganster film

    Both Peppermint Candy and Oasis were excellent films, but I cannot understand why it is Lee Chang-Dong's first film Green Fish that has got a DVD release in this country. It shows none of the originality of his later films, and is quite frankly nothing more than a cliched take on the ubiquitous Korean gangster film.

    Gangsters are bad

    Fairly run of the mill tale about a naive guy falling in with the wrong crowd and getting caught up in their evil gangster naughtiness, probably worth a look but won't make any 'films to see before you die' kind of lists.
