Do you miss the squid game? And his anxiety -processed atmosphere? We have what you need! 84M2 (84 Jegopmiteo in the original version) is a South Korean psychological thriller, directed by Kim Tae-Jun, available on Netflix.
The film shows the Woo-Sung in the daily nightmare (Kang Ha-Neul), a young man who sacrificed all his savings to buy an apartment in Seoul. Grail … well. Because his dream quickly turns into a nightmare: his apartment loses its value, he falls under debt and, above all, he is constantly outraged by extremely noisy neighbors.
Real estate pressure, debt and loneliness in big cities, we find all these ingredients in the feature film, but not only. Through the WOO-Sung character, 84 m2 reflects the reality of many young South Koreans who struggle to enter the property, at the expense of many sacrifices and great anxiety.
One of the revelations of the squid game and the false air of the parasite
Kang Ha-Neul, which we see in Squid Game, in the role of Coward Kang Dae-Ho (which the army has never received), portrays a character who is both attractive and desperate. Its intense and nuanced interpretation makes us feel like Woo-Sung’s trouble in the wake of a situation that exceeds it. Far from the squid Game character, the actress is distinguished by the role of an ordinary young man hidden in a brilliant system.
As a parasitic, 84 m2 denies social inequality and class struggle in South Korean society. The film emphasizes (slightly grossly) pressure on younger generations to succeed and access to a certain social status, even if it means losing the road. A film that has an oppressive and paranoid atmosphere throughout its two hours, half of the fate we can’t see … and that’s the best!
