Barefoot Gi Bong (Korea) (2006)
A mentally disabled man from a small village trains for a big city marathon.
Well done with a light touch and a lot of humor, Barefoot Gi Bong offers excellent performances by both the main characters and the supporting cast. Its themes of disability as an arbitrary category — who’s really disabled here? — and running as a metaphor for goals and journeys, allows us to explore topics like the exploitation of the weak, family love/loyalty, and the dignity in life that should be accorded to all as a basic human right.
