Dohee - Anyone Can Run Away (original title: Dohui-ya , often also Dohee-ya , internationally also: A Girl at My Door ) is the debut film by South Korean director July Jung from 2014 .

action

The police officer Lee Young-nam is transferred from Seoul to the city of Yeosu and takes over the post of police chief there. Right at the beginning she noticed the girl Do-hee, who was beaten by her classmates and her father. After her father Yong-ha doesn't stop beating her, Young-nam takes the girl in until summer to look after her and protect her from her father. In this way, the girl experiences a normal life for the first time without being constantly hit and insulted.

One day Young-nam's girlfriend comes from Seoul. When the two of them kiss, Yong-ha drives by in his car and sees them both. At first he says nothing, but when Young-nam sends Do-hee back at the end of the summer vacation, he tells his daughter that Young-nam is a lesbian. Yong-ha reports Young-nam to Do-hee with allegations of abuse. Do-hee testifies against Young-nam at the police station and so the latter goes to prison. When Do-hee learns of these consequences that Young-nam is in prison, but her father is not, she pretends to be raped by her father that night. The police arrest him, Do-hee revises her statement about Young-nam to the police so that they can be released. At the end both of them leave the city together.

reception

Dohee received mostly positive reviews. At the 2014 Cannes International Film Festival , the film was shown in the Un Certain Regard program and received a standing ovation . According to Maggie Lee, the film takes a feminine perspective on female relationships. Lee praised the performance of the leading actors and describes Kim Sae-ron as "electrifying". Pierce Conran described the film as "carefully executed and loaded with metaphors" and "Korean cinema at its best". In addition, July Jung is a great young talent as a director. Jung said she wanted to make a film with lonely people and show how they soothe each other. According to Claire Lee, the film vividly shows social aspects of Korean society, including homosexuality, rural issues, and immigration and work.

Clarence Tsuis ( The Hollywood Reporter ) criticism was moderate. The film avoids sensationalism and deals with several social issues, but Bae's performance is almost expressionless. Peter Bradshaw of the Guardian gave the film 3 out of 5 stars. The film could also be the pilot for a very dark television series. Tara Brady of the Irish Times was more euphoric and gave the film 4 stars. She praised Kim Hyun-seok's camera work. For Paul Byrnes of the Sydney Morning Herald , A Girl at My Door criticizes the patriarchy in South Korea. The film was one of the biggest surprises in Cannes in 2014.
