‘Shadow Child’ Review: A Fantastical World Rooted in the Real Pain of Absence, Plus What Its Key Players Had to Say

‘Shadow Child’ Review: A Fantastical World Rooted in the Real Pain of Absence, Plus What Its Key Players Had to Say

Blending realist grounding with a genre mood is difficult. Capturing the border between those two seemingly different realms and turning it into a film is no easy task. Even in South Korea’s film industry, where tightly executed genre movies and grounded, reality-driven stories dominate, films that...

[Sungchan-eol’s Comic Book] The “Happy” Adventure of Circus Cutie Donuts, “Donuts and the Circus”

[Sungchan-eol’s Comic Book] The “Happy” Adventure of Circus Cutie Donuts, “Donuts and the Circus”

I’m totally obsessed with subculture. If it involves fresh stories or material—and characters—like not just movies, but webtoons, games, comics, anime, and more, I check it out first. I opened the world of “otaku fandom” with a comic book, and became an “a-adult” who reads comic books on an...

Interview: Director Yu Eun-jeong Says the House in 〈Shadow Child〉 Was Designed by Kim Chung-up

※ 〈Shadow Child〉 director Yu Eun-jeong interview continues from Part 1. 〈Shadow Child〉 recalls your earlier film 〈The Night's Door Opens〉. Both films depict death as a dark realm, yet each also takes a fundamentally affirmative view of existence — I saw similar imagery running through both.

[Chu Ah-young's Music Box] Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and 'Heal the World' That Tried to Turn Dreams into Reality

[Chu Ah-young's Music Box] Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' and 'Heal the World' That Tried to Turn Dreams into Reality

I am captivated by music in films. Music sometimes reveals a character's intimate emotions that visible images and spoken lines alone cannot convey. It can become a window into the creator's hidden intentions. For me, understanding film music was one way of reaching a movie. 'Chu Ah-young's Music Box' listens to a film's voice up close by way of its music. (P.S. I hope you listen to the music while reading.)
Michael Jackson is an artist who left one of the most powerful marks in the history of pop music. Having taken the stage as a member of the Jackson 5 before he turned ten, he later set a Guinness World Record for the best-selling album of all time with his solo album 'Thriller' and earned the title...

[Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers] The Great Dancer Turned Film Director Summoned by “Michael”: Bob Fosse’s “All That Jazz”

I can’t help but get hooked on the objects in movies. Director, cinematographer, production designer, or even an actor—why, exactly, did they put that item in front of the camera? ‘Joo Seong-cheol’s Lockers’ is a record of the movie objects that lightly landed under my gaze and, somehow, stuck there.
Everyone had been waiting. With the release of 〈Michael〉 on May 13, it shot to #1 at the weekend box office, instantly projecting a million viewers. Zafar Jackson, Michael Jackson’s real-life nephew, debuts as the youngest member of the ‘Jackson 5’ right away, drawing attention for his musical...
