[Interview] “I believed the box-office myth from 100 years ago would return.” Director Yasuda Junichi of “Samurai Timeslipper” ②

[Interview] “I believed the box-office myth from 100 years ago would return.” Director Yasuda Junichi of “Samurai Timeslipper” ②

At the end of last year, at the Japan Academy, the awards beat hot releases such as “Last Mile” and “Kingdom 4” to win seven categories: best picture, best director, best screenplay, best actor, best cinematography, best lighting, and best editing.
This is a structure that connects the filming set of the late Edo period with that of a modern-day historical drama. The former is an era in which the shogunate was in decline ahead of the Meiji Restoration, while the latter is a period that came after the heyday of 1970s-80s historical dramas—when...

[Interview] “I believed the box-office myth of 100 years would happen again.” Director Yasuda Junichi of “Samurai Timeslipper” ①

With a production budget of 3 million yen (about 28.5 million won), the film pulled in a staggering 3 billion yen (about 28.4 billion won) at the box office, rewriting Japanese film history.
Even watching it again is surprising. 〈Don’t stop the camera. 〉(2017) is the case in point. With a modest production budget of 3 million yen (about 28. 5 million won), the film—made as a workshop project and initially screened in two theaters—went on to rake in a whopping 3 billion yen (about 28.

[Joo Sung-cheol’s Locker] Watching “Marty Supreme,” Recalling Yoon Nam-gyu’s Penholder Table Tennis Racket

[Joo Sung-cheol’s Locker] Watching “Marty Supreme,” Recalling Yoon Nam-gyu’s Penholder Table Tennis Racket

I get hooked on objects shown in movies. I can’t help but wonder why the director, the cinematographer, the production designer—or even the actor—put that item in front of the camera. “Joo Sung-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the movie objects that landed softly in my eyes.
〈Marty Supreme〉 is a table tennis movie. For Korean film fans, the Sharpdy brothers are well known for 〈Heaven Knows What〉(2014), 〈Good Time〉(2017), and 〈Uncut Gems〉(2019), but 〈Marty Supreme〉 is a feature film that older brother Josh Safdie directed on his own for the first time in nearly 10 years.

Hong Kong Retro Movie Tour ③ ‘Kowloon Walled City: The Untold Stories’ — The Kowloon Walled City Park Set That Revives Memories of Hong Kong Cinema

Erased in 1993, the Kowloon Walled City — left behind as “Kowloon Walled City Park” — was a bleak illegal residential zone where no sliver of sunlight ever reached.
When director Jingle Bao-rui’s 〈Kowloon Walled City: The Untold Stories〉 (hereinafter 〈Kowloon Walled City〉, 2024) hit theaters in Hong Kong in 2024, it set a record for the biggest box-office success in Hong Kong history.

Hong Kong Retro Movie Tour ② “Comedy King,” Stephen Chow’s Film Where You Never Get Tired of Just Staring at the Sea All Day at Sek O Beach

Among Hong Kong films, it seems there is none that so deeply absorbs the mood of a place as much as Comedy King. With the exception of the film sets and a nightclub or two, it was shot almost entirely at Sek O Beach, located at the far southeastern tip of Hong Kong Island.

[Kim Ji-yeon's Treasure Box] The Actor Buzzworthy Dramas Discovered First: Chae Seo-an of 'Brave New World' and 'The Great Lady of the 21st Century'

I'm curious about people. Even actors already drawing attention can still be at their most obscure. 'Kim Ji-yeon's Treasure Box' spotlights performers whose profiles are still rising. Consider this an early look at actors whose careers are climbing fast.
An intriguing new actor is emerging fast. After making a meteoric entrance as the plaintive 'Mrs. Hak' in 〈Completely Fooled〉, Chae Seo-an went on to play IU's not-quite-hateful, slightly obnoxious new sister-in-law in 〈The Great Lady of the 21st Century〉 and has kept turning up in one buzzy...
