Abstract: Dance serves as a highly distinctive semiotic element in Lee Chang-dong’s films, bearing a profound function of “redemption.” At the character level, dance is closely intertwined with the characters’ destinies, becoming a crucial means for them to confront existential predicaments and release their repressed “id.” For instance, in Peppermint Candy, Kim Young-ho uses dance to vent his despair; in Oasis, marginalized individuals gain emotional solace through dance. At the audience level, Lee Chang-dong employs meticulous and authentic character portrayals and open-ended narrative structures, enabling viewers to identify emotionally with the characters and, through active interpretation, to reshape their self-perception, thereby achieving redemption on the spectator’s side. At the artistic expression level, Lee integrates dance with psychoanalysis to delve into the characters’ subconscious motivations, while simultaneously employing techniques such as long takes and non-linear narration to merge redemptive themes with artistic form, bestowing upon his films a unique aesthetic quality. Dance in Lee Chang-dong’s cinema not only symbolizes the characters’ empowerment to overcome adversity but also evokes emotional resonance and intellectual enlightenment in the audience, highlighting his profound humanistic concern and artistic exploration within the context of contemporary society.
