[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.

Critic Kim Na-hee’s “Vivaldi and Me” ② The Moment When Beings We Had Only Heard Appear

Spring isn’t just the season when flowers bloom. It’s the moment when the beings we could only hear finally begin to be seen.
For a brief moment, we may feel like we understand or truly know the other person—so convinced that we believe it. Communication through music is like that. In the deepest layer of their relationship, we see it in Vivaldi’s confession—when, in the middle of the night, he comes first to Cecilia’s...
[Chua-Young’s Music Box] Music for the Purification Ritual of Wounded Youth: “Girls Band Cry”

[Chua-Young’s Music Box] Music for the Purification Ritual of Wounded Youth: “Girls Band Cry”

I get hooked on the music in the film. Music sometimes conveys intimate feelings a character can’t fully express through the visuals alone—or through the lines you hear. It can also serve as a window into the creator’s hidden intentions. For me, understanding film music was one way to connect with the movie. “Chua-Young’s Music Box” lets you listen more closely to the movie’s voice through music. (P.S. While listening to the music, I hope you’ll read the article.)

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers] Lee Cronin’s The Mummy and Murderous People Season 2 — and a Scorpion Jacket That Feels Like the Rise of Drive

I get hooked on the objects in movies. I can’t help but get lost in questions about why the director, cinematographer, production designer, or even the actors put that thing right in front of the camera. “[Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers]” is a record of those movie objects that land lightly—right onto my eyes.
Watching 〈Lee Cronin’s The Mummy〉 , you can feel the full-on force of Blumhouse as it revives a franchise that seemed long dead: 〈Mummy〉. The first 〈Mummy〉 (1932), powered by the charisma of actor Boris Karloff, was basically the flagship of the “Universal Horror” era.

[Interview] What’s It Like to Step Into Kim Hye-yoon’s Genre Roles? Kim Hye-yoon on ‘Salmokji’ ②

“〈Salmokji〉, it’s a 10/10 movie—but if you say it’s too scary, I feel like audiences won’t come. So I’ll give it a 9.5.”
▶〈Salmokji〉 actor Kim Hye-yoon’s interview continues from Part 1. 〈Salmokji〉 is a horror film built around “experiential” scares. From the perspective of filming an “experiential” movie, was there anything that made this set different from other productions.
