A powerful story of displacement, isolation and racial discrimination built around Duk-kyu (Cho Duk-kyu) and Bo rum (Kim Bo rum), two lovers who seem to be at the wrong place in a strange time. "Using a range of styles into an eye-catchingly anarchic portrait of the plight of Buenos Aires' so-called "1.5 generation" - young Koreans whose parents have emigrated to Argentina, leaving them stranded between two cultures - Bae Youn Suk's Do U Cry 4 Me Argentina? is highenergy fare that fuses several genres into something quite unlike anything that's come along before. The urgency of pic's message in seeking to overturn stereotyped views of BA's Korean community grounds the project firmly in contempo reality." Variety


Argentina, 2005, 93mins, doc, Spanish/Korean with English subtitles, Bae Youn Suk, dir.
