The Man Next Door

2010 · 100 min

A slow, uneasy character study that quietly curdles as a shallow man's smug life starts to slip.

Directed by
Jang Dong-hong
Overview
Sang-su (Yoon Je-moon) is an ordinary real estate agent with a wife and son. He also has a pretty younger girlfriend, but still brags to friends about his latest one-night stands with other women. Money and sex mean everything to him, but just as he fulfills his dream of driving a Mercedes-Benz, things go awry.
