211 - A Taxi Driver (2017)


Listen Later

This week we find ourselves in South Korea during a tumultuous time with our patron-saint Song Kang-ho in the 2017 “A Taxi Driver” (not Martin Scorsese’s “Taxi Driver”). Join the 1001 by 1 crew as we discuss the actual 1980 Gwangju Uprising, the tremendous lead performance from SKH, and if the filmmaking rises to the challenge of telling this important story. Also, this week we all recommend other South Korean films: Britt recommends “Peppermint Candy” (available on most VOD platforms), Joey recommends “No Other Choice” (available on PVOD platforms), and Adam recommends “The Wailing” (currently free on Tubi).You can listen to us wherever you listen to podcasts!
