[Chu Sung-cheol’s Lockers] Who Spat on Leslie Cheung in “Farewell My Concubine”?

I get hooked on the objects in movies. I find myself falling into deep thought—why, of all things, did the director, cinematographer, production designer, or even an actor put that item in front of the camera? “Chu Sung-cheol’s Lockers” is a record of the film props that gently but firmly captured my attention.
