The film Where Would You Like to Go? is based on literary elegance; In the film, language is crucial. This fact is detectable even to audiences who have yet to gain prior knowledge about the original piece. The protagonists are related to writing or books. However, something happens that even they cannot articulate into language, but only in the form of letters can they utter it, and this process becomes the structure of the film. Body images that gradually increase get juxtaposed, from paralyzed or immobile ones to those gliding down successfully. Rashes that spread from the back to the whole body are also meaningful. The story seems ideological, but concrete places and landscapes, Gwangju and Warshaw, are provided as a background of the story, and the protagonists’ traumas are unleashed and expressed. Any audience used to the past ten years in Korea inevitably associates it with a specific event, and the connection between the audience and the protagonist goes beyond empathy and turns into a new phase. It goes beyond the borderline of time, place, and diegesis and evokes a sense of shared pain from social and historical trauma. The last scene cross-edits the protagonists gazing at the sun, securing the contemporaneity while inviting the audience to participate in their grief and recovery. Maybe this is how solidarity starts. [LEE Yumi]
