The Executioner
2009, Korean. Directed by Jin Ho Choi.
An execution scheduled to be carried out in 12 years creates a hostile and stifling atmosphere among guards in one jail. This has profound effects on the dehumanization of Jae-kyoung, a young, newly appointed guard who nonetheless happens to find that a cold-blooded colleague of his, Jong-ho, has some humane traits. Written by Pusan International Film Festival winning screenwriter Young Ok Kim.
