A Taxi Driver

A Taxi Driver (택시운전사)

Directed by: Jang Hoon (장훈)

Starring: Song Kang-ho (송강호), Thomas Kretschmann, Yu Hae-jin (유해진), Ryu Jun-yeol (류준열)

The Film: Man-seob (Song Kang-ho) is a struggling single father and a Taxi driver from Seoul who finds himself behind on his rent payment..again. When Man-seob overhears that a foreigner is paying 100 dollars (the exact amount he is behind in rent) for a private cab ride to the city of Gwangju, Man-seob acts quickly and pretends he is the English-speaking driver that had been prearranged.

What Man-seob doesn’t know, is that his passenger is a foreign reporter attempting to uncover and expose whatever secrets are being kept in the city of Gwangju; a city that has cut-off all phone lines and expelled all reporters in response to its largely student-lead demonstrations against the government. When the two arrive in Gwangju, they discover the city to be on complete military lock-down and in a situation far worse than either of them could have imagined…
