Ten rising South Korean filmmakers present seriocomic stories about money matters in the omnibus project "Short! Short! Short! 2009": Show Me the Money.
As much as the opening film for the 10th Jeonju International Film Festival is about money, the tight budget for the project ($5,000 per director) is most palpable. The screaming individuality and experimentalism of each episode compensate, but commercial prospects seem slight and the flick will most likely find a small niche in arthouse cinemas.
The omnibus reel opens with Choi Ik-hwan's one-cut flick "Our Last Words, Live". The "Life Is Cool" director offers a mock home video featuring two despairing young men, who, defrauded, bankrupt and about to get arrested for false charges, try to assert their innocence by recording their last words on tape before committing suicide. But life ― and death ― are often beyond one's control.

2009/07/23 |
Star couple Kwon Sang-woo and Son Tae-yeong plan to ask police to investigate rumors about them that have been spreading rapidly on Internet portals, press reports say.
One of the couple's associates was quoted as saying, "Rumors began to emerge through underground newsletters circulating on the stock market. The couple will file a petition with the police cyber task force asking for a probe".
One of the rumors claims that Kwon, 33, and Sohn, 29, will divorce soon. The couple has flatly denied the rumors, reportedly saying, "We are living well. We have no idea why such rumors are spreading".
Kwon's friends support the couple's claims, noting that they have been going out with their son frequently.
