This Movie Is About.
Wiki.
Dear Jinri (Korean: 진리에게; RR: Jilliege; lit. To the truth) is a 2023 South Korean documentary film directed by Jung Yoon-suk. The film is built around the final interview of Choi Jin-ri, better known as K-pop star Sulli, and was filmed just prior to her death in 2019. The film premiered at the 28th Busan International Film Festival on October 7, 2023 and was released commercially by Netflix on November 13, serving as the second episode of Persona: Sulli. Choi was in the midst of filming season two of Persona at the time of her death.
Despite initial concerns about the possibility of the film's release being exploitative or disrespectful, Dear Jinri was received positively by audiences, who felt it respectfully commemorated and remembered Choi. Some critics felt the film was too vague about Choi's death and backstory, instead relying on the audience already being familiar with the subject matter. The film contains elements of L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, used as a framing device on intertitles, as a tribute to "Dorothy", the name of Choi's final song.
