There is a moment after sunset when it is so dark, one cannot tell whether the animal in front of one's eyes is a dog or a wolf. In French, this moment is called the "time between dog and wolf" (Entre chien et loup).

'King & Clown' star talks about his rise to celebrity, and fall back to earthThere are certain things you might expect when meeting a star actor: crazy good looks, fabulous lifestyle and, perhaps, a bit of attitude. Such was this reporter's expectation before an exclusive interview with Korean actor Lee Joon-ki on a recent afternoon. Lee, once a young and struggling actor from the port city of Busan, was catapulted to stardom with his impressive portrayal of an androgynous clown in the 2005 hit film "The King and the Clown". Today, Lee is ranked as one of Korea's biggest box office draws. The few films he has made have attracted almost 20 million people, according to the latest figures.

This means that all six of Jeon's features will have been invited to major cinema events. But as much as the film, now showing in theaters, marked the comeback of "Old Boy" star Choi Min-sik, its press preview attracted a mad crowd of reporters (Some 20 people had turned up for his previous multiple award-winning "With a Girl of Black Soil"). The aforementioned Kim is known to provoke onscreen, and Jeon also does not hesitate to depict shocking characters that take performance art to an extreme degree and commit suicide on stage ("I Have the Right to Destroy Myself"). "I had Choi Min-sik in mind when ...| More | |||||||||||
