Judgement (1999 film)

Judgement (Korean: 심판) is a 1999 short film by South Korean director Park Chan-wook based on the 1995 collapse of the Sampoong Department store.

In a morgue lies the lifeless body of a girl, waiting to be identified.

The girl was killed in the collapse of the Sampoong Department store and a wrongful death settlement has been offered to her family.

Another Mag praised the camera work and use of color in a mostly black-and-white film, noting how it foreshadows the stylistic hallmarks Park developed in later projects.

[1] The blog Film School Rejects described it as "a miniature triumph of genre blending", comparing it to both film noir and Korean soap opera.
