#Movie a taxi driver 2017 languages professional#
A sense of professional pride, in addition to the lure of the much-needed money, pushes Kim to complete the trip via backroads.
With neither man fluent in the other’s language, the two haggle over whether to proceed once roadblocks pop up to hinder their way to Gwangju. Martial law has been declared nationwide, but with university students taking to the streets with particular fervor in the southern city, Gwangju is under retaliatory military siege, cordoned off and with its phone lines cut.Īs the concisely handled setup makes clear, Kim’s passenger, Jürgen Hinzpeter (Thomas Kretschmann), is a reporter for the German pubcaster who has made a beeline from Tokyo upon hearing of troubles in the neighboring country. A Seoul widower struggling to make ends meet - and not averse to asking his landlord for a loan - he snatches a lucrative fare to Gwangju, more than 150 miles south of the capital, from another driver, with no clue to the danger that lies ahead. Song’s character, Kim, is, at first, an accidental participant in the shattering events.
