The Yellow Sea

Scorsese and Schrader's iconic portrait of God's Lonely Man hangs over this thrilling intense film, an electrifying crime thriller from the director of The Chaser.

Gu-nam spends his time drinking and gambling as he attempts to blot out the wreck his life has become. His wife has crept over the border into South Korea and lost contact with him. His gambling debts are spiraling out of control. His self-respect is non-existent. As the pressure mounts Gu-nam's desperation escalates. Eventually he can see no way out other than to accept the offer of local crime boss Myun to follow his wife to Seoul where he must murder a businessman.
