Review of The Bacchus Lady (2016) by Filippo G — 27 Aug 2018
A wonderful real-life portrait of the korean social phenomenon of "bacchus ladies", elder prostitutes, sometimes in their 80s, who offer sexual services in parks and cheap hotels to support themselves.
It also explores, with great poetry and tenderness, the themes of life, death and acceptance. A great portrait of how greed and modernity destroy a traditional life system based on values, family and mutual assistance.
Absolutely not to be missed.
