Ein furioser Hochseilakt mit PARASITE-Hauptdarsteller Song Kang-ho, zwischen investigativem Historienfilm, packendem Actiondrama und leichtfüßiger Komödie. Kim, Taxifahrer und Witwer, arbeitet hart für seine kleine Tochter. Als er einen deutschen Journalisten in die Sperrzone nach Gwangju fährt, beginnt eine irrwitzige Fahrt inmitten gewalttätiger Konfrontationen von Demonstrierenden und Staat. (koch films)

Englisch This is a story of true heroes for me. The Gwangju Uprising got deep under my skin after I read "Human Acts" by the ever popular writer Han Kang. Since then, this unfortunate event has become a very sensitive subject for me, and I want to learn more about it. Even though I know it will hurt. I've always been fascinated by how far human courage can go in the quest for freedom. And that's what A Taxi Driver is about. Plus, it confirmed for me that having Kang-ho Song in a movie means that quality is a given. No one would have been better suited to the role of a taxi driver. ()

Englisch Excellent illustration of Korean film art, where a rather unremarkable film turns into a record of one of the most terrifying events in Korean history, which surprisingly didn't come from outside, but from within. The escalation of the film is almost unreal, towards the end you won't even want to watch in some places. A very powerful experience. ()
