[Interview] “Stand by Me for Girls—Even if They Give Up the College Entrance Exam, They Can’t Lose the Animals!” ‘San-yang-deul’ director Yoo Jae-wook, actress Park Hye-jin ①

With the college entrance exam days away, the four girls—In-hye (Park Hye-jin), Seo-hee (Lee Seung-yeon), Jeong-ae (Park Hyo-eun), and Su-min (Choi Soo-in)—are shaken by news that the animals at the school’s animal-keeping facility will be euthanized.
In 2001, what were the girls from 〈Please Take Care of My Cat〉 doing about now? Maybe they’ve already grown up by now. Somewhere, they’re surely doing well. Even so, the descendants of the daydreamer Tae-hee (Bae Doo-na), who kept caring for strays, are being born again—and growing up—somewhere, as...

‘Hope’ Finally Meets Moviegoers. Here’s How Cineplay’s Critics Rated It

Advance bookings alone topped 600,000. That opening-day figure shows that 〈Hope〉 has become a national talking point, not just a movie-industry event. 〈Hope〉 is the new film from director Na Hong-jin, known for the tense, audacious intensity of 〈The Chaser〉, 〈The Yellow Sea〉 and 〈The Wailing〉.

[Interview] Jo In-sung on ‘Hope’: Taking a bold leap for a cinematic thrill only humans can deliver, Part 2

[Interview] Jo In-sung on ‘Hope’: Taking a bold leap for a cinematic thrill only humans can deliver, Part 2

※This interview with 〈Hope〉 actor Jo In-sung continues from Part 1. Imagining and acting opposite an imagined being must have been a major challenge. In particular, when Seong-gi confronts a gigantic alien intelligence late in the film, his subtle eye movements and tiny facial shifts were striking.

Interview: Director Yu Eun-jeong Says the House in 〈Shadow Child〉 Was Designed by Kim Chung-up

※ 〈Shadow Child〉 director Yu Eun-jeong interview continues from Part 1. 〈Shadow Child〉 recalls your earlier film 〈The Night's Door Opens〉. Both films depict death as a dark realm, yet each also takes a fundamentally affirmative view of existence — I saw similar imagery running through both.

[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.
