'Dirty Romance' is a 2015 South Korean drama film written and directed by South Korean indie provocateur Lee Sang-woo. It made its world premiere at the 2015 Fantastic Fest.

Synopsis



Goo Chul-joong (Kim Joon-woo) struggles to survive as he takes care of his severely disabled sister Goo Mi-joong (Ahn Ha-na). With no income and in debt, he begs his uncle for handouts and resorts to stealing. For a long time, Mi-joong has a crush on his friend Kim Chang-gi (Choi Hong-jun) who has yet to repay his debt. One day, Chul-joong coerces Chang-gi to have sex with Mi-joong as partial payment of his longstanding debt. Chul-joong also allows Gil Deok-ho (Gil Deok-ho), the mentally challenged son of a Chinese restaurant owner, to court his sister, hoping to marry her off and extricate himself from this living hell.

Reception



Hangul Celluloid's Paul Quinn: "While certainly hard-hitting and wholly in keeping with director Lee Sang-woo's previous work, 'Dirty Romance' has moments of warmth, of understated humour and even of beauty to add layers and further levels to this already accomplished, thought provoking and important independent film."

PopOptiq's J.R. Kinnard: "'Dirty Romance' is powerful, fearless filmmaking."
