[Sung Chan-yeol’s Comics] In 〈He and the Moon〉, a Big Family Feels Both Close and Far Away

I’m drawn to subculture in all its forms. I don’t just follow films; I check out webtoons, games, manga and animation — anything that offers a fresh story, theme or character.

I get hooked on the objects in the movies. I end up deep in thought about why the director—whether it was the director, the cinematographer, the production designer, or even an actor—put that particular item in front of the camera. ‘Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker’ is a record of the objects in films that delicately landed on my eyes.
Park Chan-wook’s 〈The Handmaiden〉 and Na Hong-jin’s 〈Goksung〉 were released in 2016, on June 1 and May 12, respectively, in the same year. Coincidentally, both films were invited to the Cannes Film Festival that year—Park Chan-wook’s to the competition section and Na Hong-jin’s to the...

How Na Hong-jin’s ‘Hope’ Maps Korea’s Paranoid Beliefs, Part 2

▶〈Hope〉: this piece continues Part 1. Director Na Hong-jin deliberately disorients the audience by showing Beom-seok misidentify the alien's location. Beom-seok and Jong-gu are both police officers, but they are timid and incompetent.
