Jisoe

Aroview: Through the expression of graffiti art, Justin Hughes’ (aka Jisoe) daily plight is explored in this social commentary on Australia’s growing underclass.

A hard-knock life recalling the street hustle of SQUEEGEE BANDIT, where harsh setbacks are offset by tiny moments of resilience, dir. Martin employs a hip-hop soundtrack to similar effect, although applies restraint under more harrowing circumstances of poverty and mental deterioration. A bleak, necessary, compelling portrait.
