The pace
Takes its time with its characters, at 2 hr 3 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Korean, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1958: an older pace and style.

The Money is about a poor farmer whose bid for a better life ends up bringing calamity to his family. At the urging of loan shark Eok Jo (Choi Nam Hyun), Bong Su (Kim Seung Ho) sells his cows to start a business but he loses everything to a conman (No Kyung Hee). Bong Su accidentally kills Eok Jo in a fight and takes his money, and the police trace the crime back to Bong Su's son.
