Diary of Yunbogi

Overview

Constructed as an experimental montage of still photographs, "Diary of Yunbogi" reflects on poverty and historical responsibility through the imagined diary of a six-year-old Korean boy living in a South Korean slum. Drawing on photographs taken during Ōshima’s 1965 research trip to Korea, the film juxtaposes the child’s daily struggle to care for his siblings with the director’s own reflections on Japanese–Korean relations.
