Influenza
The film starts with a man named Cho Hyuk-rae who has perched dangerously on top of the Han River Bridge. It is a sad picture of a man who has been caught unwittingly on a security camera. The camera continues to reveal the downward spiral of Cho and those of us who surround him. The 'real' images shown through the camera keep on becoming more 'corrupted' as the time goes by.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Park Chan-ook constructs his narrative around the formal device of surveillance footage, which evolves from a neutral observer into an active participant, exploring the erosion between private despair and public spectacle. He works with a deft tonal balance, blending caustic crime comedy with sudden pockets of genuine pathos.
What lingers after the final corrupted frame is a sharp, strangely melancholic satire on modern alienation. Those who tire of conventional storytelling will find a clever and bitterly humorous critique of the lenses through which we watch life unfold. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Bong Joon Ho
