[Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker] David’s Stone That Took Down Goliath, “David” All the Way Through

I can’t help getting captivated by the objects in movies. I fall into deep thought over why, whether it’s the director, the cinematographer, the art director—or even the actor—someone felt compelled to place that particular item in front of the camera. “Joo Seong-cheol’s Locker” is a record of the movie objects that came down on my eyes like stepping onto a soft stair.

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. The former is an era in which the shogunate was in decline ahead of the Meiji Restoration, while the latter is a period that came after the heyday of 1970s-80s historical dramas—when...
