Casual movie, but just right

Whoever says poverty, bottom, vulgarity and anger must be ugly, sharp, cold....
It can also be beautiful.
This movie is beautiful, even better than all the indie movies about teenage fucking life. It creates a warm feeling with music and pictures, even if you deeply feel the unease and despair in it.
Not all children make you want to love him/her. Not the indifferent and selfish child in the city, not the arrogant and domineering child, not the spoiled child, not the child who has passed the tenth grade in the piano with extraordinary talent.
But Strange Boy, you have to love him, especially when he's shivering naked on the flyover with bunny ears on, and when he's deadpan drowning a cat.
Although the picture of the movie is very jumpy, it is very smooth. It's like shooting the lives of the people around you at random. This small town is full of all kinds of twisted personalities, but they are absolutely qualified to accuse: you hypocrites sit there every day, hiding your little secrets, how much you are ignorance! ...The world is full of ugliness and darkness! ...
for you, to survive means to live, to be happy, to be content, to be fulfilled, to be eternal. But to us, it means nothing!
But, "I wanted to kill you, I wanted to kill myself, but I didn't do anything..."

  • Solomon: [voiceover] Tummler sees everything. Some say he's downright evil. He's got what it takes to be a legend. He's got a marvelous persona.
