A nice short by Park, very stylishly done in b&w. This was a story about greed and retribution, I guess. The dead body of an unidentified girl was found, and a group of people were arguing over whose kid it was. Each one had an agenda of their own. Tragedy strucks in the form of an earthquake which helped triggered a mass electrocution in the whole room, but this time only one survived. I guess he's the only one who wasn't hoping to gain something from out of the whole deal.
The score was a little reminiscent of Oldboy, to me. Anyway I love the work and quality here. It's Park first film, and it's a testament to his talent. I'm not quite sure why random stock news footage of the after-effects of an earthquake were sporadically inserted during the whole thing. Maybe it's a sign of the impending doom that was to occur, but it's probably something more.
7/10 stars
