A great depiction of the human spirit and emotion, ‘A Taxi Driver’, rates as one of the best films to have come out of the Korean industry. It tells the story of an ordinary taxi driver from Seoul, who gets caught up in the Gwangju Uprising of 1980. The movie is based on the interactions of a German journalist, Jürgen Hinzpeter s interactions with the driver, whose identity was later found out, as Kim Sa Bok. A story that rises beyond even the most well-written descriptions, this movie and its intricate portrayal has made it one of the most beloved movies of all time. It was the second highest grossing movie of 2017, and still stands as the 12th highest grossing South Korean movies of all time. It was selected for the 90th Academy awards, and has won at other events like 3rd Asian World Film Festival, 21st Fantasia International Film Festival and many high level domestic awards.
