Korean Horror Movie "Voices" ("Someone Behind You") Set to Showcase in the United States (Source)

2009/01/13

The Korean horror movie "Voices" ("Someone Behind You"- 2007) has been selected as one of this year's "8 Films to Die For III", a list annually issued by the After Dark Horrorfest, which runs this year from January 9 to 15, across 31 states, including Washington DC, New York, and Maryland.

"Voices" ("Someone Behind You") is a supernatural thriller that revolves around a young girl who fears her family may want her dead. The film has been highly praised for its realistic portrayal of a family with a dark secret, especially in the agonizing moments when the girl discovers that she will be sacrificed to relieve her family of its curse. The film was directed by Oh Ki-hwan, who is known for directing such Korean blockbusters as "Last Present" (2000) and "The Art of Seduction" (2005). This is Oh's first attempt at the horror genre.

The After Dark Horrorfest is an annual celebration for the horror genre that showcases eight films that run the spectrum of horror, thriller, gore and super... |More

'Ennio Morricone of Korea' spotlighted with his best album (Source)

2007/04/09

Can you imagine the film "Cinema Paradiso" without Ennio Morricone's score masterfully capturing the gentle-natured, nostalgic feel of the film? Music's influence on moviegoers' attitude toward a film is far greater than one might think, yet few attribute a film's success to it in Korea.

This could be why there are few composers dedicated fully to original film scores in the country, but at least the film industry has one outstanding film music composer worthy of being proud of: Jo Seong-woo, president of M&F (Music & Film) Creation.

"A talented composer can't necessarily be a good film composer because it takes a deep insight into filmmaking", Jo said in an interview with The Korea Herald.

This Thursday, a CD collection of his film scores containing a total of 32 pieces of music highlighting 23 different films will come out. The album titled "Jo Seong-woo: Best of Cinema Music" is, according to Jo, the very essence of his music persona as well as a memoir of the time when bot... |More

Kyu Hyun Kim (internews)

"Last Present" (2001) is a tragic romance so manipulative that you can almost hear its cogwheels and pulleys clicking and whirring like a well-oiled machine. Lee Jeong-jae ("Les Insurges", "The Last Witness") plays a two-bit gagman (as a stand-up comic is known in Korea, although what the gagmen do in this film is closer to vaudeville act, more Laurel and Hardy than Robin Williams) Yong-gi, whose marriage to Jeong-yeon (Lee Young-ae of "JSA - Joint Security Area" and "One Fine Spring Day") is falling apart. A leaf is turned when he accidentally finds out that Jeong-yeon is dying from an unspecified incurable disease.

Yong-gi, initially devastated, makes a resolution to win the TV gag contest at all costs, all the while hiding the fact that he is privy to his wife's secret. Intertwined with this sappy disease-of-the-month narrative are dollops of sepia-toned flashbacks concerning Jeong-yeon's object of chi... |More

Synopsis
Yong-ki, an obscure comedian, has been married to Jung-yun for about three years. After the miscarriage of their awaited baby and difficult times, their relationship grows cool. They have not slept in the same bed for a while now. One day, after a near fiasco over paying con-men to get onto the "King of Comedy" show, Yong-ki is shocked to find out from that Jung-yun has a terminal disease. He agonizes after finally realizing the real reason for Jung-yun's coldness towards him. He struggles, having to pretend not to know about his wife's sickness. Then one day, he discovers Jung-yun's school yearbook while cleaning the house. He becomes determined to find her old friends, and, in particular, her first love, as his last present to her. Jung-yun, in the meantime, has been working on a project for her husband who will be left all alone, and she gets him on the show. While Yong-ki ceaselessly does one joke after another, Jung-yun gradually loses her strength. Yong-ki, watching his fading wife, grits his teeth and throws himself into his skit. They say their final farewell, surrounded by happy laughter...
