The versatile actress Moon So-ri will sit alongside international movie heavyweights on the jury of the 11th Pusan International Film Festival.

Following her screen debut in "Peppermint Candy", Moon took the award for Best New Performer at the Venice Film Festival in 2002 for her portrayal of a cerebral palsy victim in "Oasis" . She also transformed herself for her roles in "A Good Lawyer's Wife", "The President's Barber" and "Bewitching Attraction".

The jury president is veteran Hungarian director István Szabó, who shot his first feature film "The Age of Daydream" at 26 and came to international attention with "Mephisto" (1982), which took the Oscar for best foreign language film. He followed with "Sweet Emma, Dear Bobe" in 1992, which scored the Berlin Film Festival's Silver Bear. Hong Kong producer Daniel Yu, French director Bruno Dumont and Iranian director Abolfazl Jalili will round out the panel. The festival will run from Oct. 12 to 20 in the southern port city also spelle...| More

Cine-Cafe Mornings

At 9:30 a.m. on Wednesday

Samsung Raeminan Cultural Center

This charity movie session will screen the 2004 black comedy "The President's Barber". Starring Song Kang-ho and Moon So-ri, the movie combines fact and fiction to recreate Seoul in the 1960s and '70s. It takes that politically volatile period that includes the nation's chaotic first presidential election, ceaseless civic demonstrations, the authoritarian rule of Park Chung-hee and a McCarthy-esque fear of everything Communist and filters it through the experience of Han-mo (played by Song), a simpleminded barber who owns a shop next to Chong Wa Dae. Becoming the barber for President Park and his staff members fills Hanmo with pride, but the duties end up involving the barber and his family in internal political struggles. The film also draws a parallel between the barber's growing relationship with his son (Lee Jae-eung) and the transformation South Korea undergoes under Park's authoritarian regime....| More

Actress Moon So-ri plays a temptress in her upcoming film "Bewitching Attraction", a totally different spectrum from that which she showed in the 2002 melodrama "Oasis" in which she played a woman with a cerebral palsy.
A poster for an upcoming movie immediately catches people's attention. A woman wearing a short skirt is bending over revealing her cleavage. Its title reads "Bewitching Attraction (Yogyosu-ui Unmilhan Maeryok)".

It might take you time to recognize the actress and it may take you even more time to recognize her as the woman with cerebral palsy from the 2002 melodrama "Oasis".

A range of spectrums that Moon So-ri, 31, has shown playing all walks of life in her acting career is surely her true "bewitching" attraction.

In the new adult comedy, she plays an attractive professor who has a talent for seducing men, but finds herself in trouble when she encounters a man who knows a naughty secret from her past.

But even for the ver...| More

"Another Public Enemy" - "Public Enemy 2" and "The President's Barber" among the films featured
Email Article Print Article Ronda Hauben (netizen2)
Two Korean films, "Another Public Enemy" - "Public Enemy 2" directed by Kang Woo Suk, and "The President's Barber" by Lim Chan Sang, are among those being shown in the 2005 New York Korean Film festival.

"Another Public Enemy" - "Public Enemy 2" is about a public prosecutor, played by Sol Kyeong-gu, who is determined to uphold the public interest and fight crime and corruption, even in the highest reaches of the South Korean government. The film presents a public official who is willing to sacrifice his official position and even his life to carry out his duty as a public prosecutor.

The effect his determination has on his superiors is inspiring, as instead of firing him, they find ways to support his commitment to the public good. At one showing of the film, a woman in the audience said that she hoped all American public offi...| More
