A Bittersweet Life

Described as ‘organic, beautifully brutal and refreshingly realistic’ by critics, A Bittersweet Life is a highly cultural and ruthlessly violent film, based upon the ethical codes in the Korean mob and how they clash with personal morality.

We were invited by Sony Pictures and Tartan Films to design a series of interactive menus for the film, set to be released on a Special Edition DVD 2 disc set.

Our final work is strongly based on pace, contrast and light, all hugely important elements from the film that help create high levels of drama and suspense. Containing a distinct intro and loop section on each disk, the menus adopt a slow, calm feel, with a contrasting fast-paced montage of frantic scenes from the film.
