Die in Seoul

2024

1h 12min

The everyday grind of Seoul's unnamed artists — musicians, dancers and actors who spend more hours at part-time jobs than at their art. Seon-jae, an unknown musician, holds on to work that nobody is paying him for. Shot in four days in 2014, with a lead cast drawn from an open audition of some 1,200 actors, the film was left unfinished for years after its original footage was lost; recovered later, it was finally completed in 2024.
