  [HanCinema's Interview Corner] Ten Questions for the KOREAN CINEPHILE
  2012/06/30,
  Your website, Modern Korean Cinema, has been up since mid-2010, how did you come to discover Korean cinema and what was it about Korea's film industry that really cemented your passion for it? My first exposure to Korean cinema came long before the inception of MKC and it's kind of a funny story (at least I think it is)! When I was in boarding school in Dublin (high school) we were studying Macbeth and as a nascent cinephile I wanted to seek classic filmed versions of Shakespeare's work, first came Polanski's, then Orson Welles' version but soon I came across Kurosawa's "Throne of Blood" (1957) and fell in love with it.

The film was a critical darling and unexpected box office champion for two consecutive weeks when it was released in Korea earlier this year. - Russell Edwards, Variety "...The film never ceases to compel. As the layers of deceit are peeled back, Byeon seems in complete command of her material. A key demonstration of her narrative dexterity is the way she flaunts an audacious 'Chinatown'-like clue to the missing woman's whereabouts without pre-empting the climax",...More

  'When I am not confident about myself, how can I possibly present myself to others?' Yang Bi-na, a 26-year-old actress, underwent three invasive plastic surgery procedures two months ago, hoping to land better roles in theater productions and films. She will have teeth laminates as well as nose and forehead implants by March. By Park  Sang-moon Advertisements for cosmetic surgery clinics featuring a dramatic contrast of before and after faces are ubiquitous in Seoul; from the backs of seats on public buses to posters throughout the subway, it would be hard fought to avoid examples of facial transformations during a daily commute,...More
