The title Good Light, Good Air is oddly paradoxical. Keenly working at the point where his artistic identity and persistent attention on modern Korean history meet, director Im in this film focused on where the history of oppression and struggle intersect between Gwangju and Buenos Aires. In both cities, a great number of people who fought against the dictatorship were slaughtered and disappeared. The people of both societies still live with that trauma. When the testimonies of the victims of the two cities cross over, the film gives us chills as the eerie history of the two is very similar. Through Good Light, Good Air, director Im asks us how we will remember the past from where we stand right now.

Трогательный, эмоциональный сюжет «Фукуока», знакомит с тихим, добродушным мужчиной среднего возраста, хозяина небольшой, скромной лавки по продаже разнообразной, книгопечатной продукции, обитающий в тихом провинциальном городке японской префектуры. Он ведет незаметный, нелюдимый образ существования, стараясь избегать ненужных мелких конфликтов с окружающими миром, давно приняв горечь одиночества холостяцкой жизни. Хотя этому следовала действительная, малоприятная причина, к которой герой изредка возвращался воспоминаниями с немалым сожалением о потерянных годах, при глубоком разочаровании в людях.

People have varying perceptions and definitions of love and movies. One must overcome differing opinions and disregard insignificant factors in order to achieve the end product in each aspect. However, it is these trivial features that matter in the end and leave their imprint on our souls. Whether it is for love or for movies, we must continue to question and attend to the subtle inscriptions upon our emotions.

The drastic economic development in South Korea once surprised the rest of the world. However, behind of it was an oppression the marginalized female laborers had to endure. The film invites us to the lives of the working class women engaged in the textile industry of the 1960s, all the way through the stories of flight attendants, cashiers, and non-regular workers of today. As we encounter the vista of female factory workers in Cambodia that poignantly resembles the labor history of Korea, the form of labor changes its appearance but the essence of the bread-and-butter question remains still.
