[Interview] Y2K Sensibility, Meeting This Year’s Debut, Director Changrok Han in the Hot Seat, Actors Joo Min-hyeong and Baek Ji-hye (②)

The 〈strong〉Chungchungchung〈/strong〉 (also rendered as 〈strong〉Chung Chung Chung〈/strong〉)—made with the 2018 murder case in Washington, Benton as its inspiration—depicts a catastrophe sparked by the tangled, competing desires of three children.

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] Zombie Things That Don’t Flinch Even When Shot: Korea’s First Zombie Film, “Kwe-si” (1981)
