In the Spotlight this Week: "Sunny - 2010" by Kang Hyeong-cheol We all have those moments in our past that we yearn to try piece together and return to in some way or another. Sometimes all we are able to muster are memories, those fragile and illusive parts of ourselves that dissolve and drift away the more our worlds change for better or worse. Kang Hyeong-cheol's "Sunny - 2010" is a heartfelt coming-of-age drama that stares fearlessly into the past in order to salvage the beautiful friendship of seven young woman. It is not often a cinematic event like this comes along that is able to capture life's cruel twists and turns while still being able to paint a silver lining thick enough for us all to grab hold of. It made millions, won awards, but outside of all its commercial successes and the praise, "Sunny -2010" will perhaps be remembered as a personal cinematic memory all by itself - just waiting to be recalled and danced to all over again,...More

2016/03/27, Source
Actress Shim Eun-kyung seemed nervous and uncomfortable about something throughout the whole interview. She lacked confidence in her voice and she hung head several times. She was not the actress we know from "Sunny - 2010" or "Miss Granny". We had to push back our questions every time she hung her head. We felt pity for the girl sitting in front of us who kept reflecting on herself when she should be promoting her upcoming movie "Missing You - 2016". We listened to what the actress had to say. We met Shim Eun-kyung recently in Seoul. The writing, "You killed my dad didn't you?" on the poster of the movie "Missing You - 2016" hints what the movie is about. "Missing You - 2016" starring Shim Eun-kyung, Kim Sung-oh and Yoon Je-moon depicts a girl who waits 15 years for her father's killer to get out of prison and a detective named Dae-yeong (Yoon Je-moon) who looks after her.

2013/08/11

As his dream is a romantic one, a documentary crew decides to follow him around to get a taste of the life of a young, ambitious, creative man. The work quickly takes a turn for the dour as there is nothing at all romantic about Mr. Lee. He isn't even particularly likable.

However, he knows absolutely nothing about context or keeping up appearances,...More
[HanCinema's Film Review] Returning to the Sunny side of Love.
2013/07/27
Korean films are particularly intrigued by the tragic tests time and memory can place on love. This fascination extends across genres and the results are often not the Hollywood fairy tale viewers might come to expect. We see this in recent films like "The Servant", where Choon-hyang (Korea's 'Juliet' played by Cho Yeo-jeong) suffers a devasting physical trauma that leaves her mentally and emotionally incapacitated, no longer able to remember the love and passion she once had for her forbidden lover Bang-ja (Kim Joo-hyuk). In Park Chan-wook's cult classic "Old Boy" Oh Dae-su (Choi Min-sik) is confronted with an impossible decision at the end, one that cruelly pits the love for his daughter against his own sanity. (I think it will be highly interesting to see how Spike Lee's version of the story's ending differs to Park's). There are other examples of how time and love collide in Korea cinema, often with truly memorable results, and recently I returned to one of the most successful dramas in recent years: Kang Hyeong-cheol's "Sunny - 2010",...More

[HanCinema's Film Review] "Wonderful Radio"

Film: "Wonderful Radio" (also known as "Love On-Air") Director: Kwon Chil-in ("Loveholic – Movie" and "Singles") Stars: Lee Min-jung, Lee Jung-jin, Lee Kwang-soo and Kim Jwong-tae Review Score: 5.5/10 Also try: "Dancing Queen" & "Sunny - 2010" There is hardly a short supply of Korean romantic comedies out there. With each new wave of new Korean film being released there always seems to be one or two that are slipped into the mix. Earlier this year, Kwon Chil-in threw his "Wonderful Radio" into the batched and the result was a lukewarm reception from viewers that had many questioning the film's originality, casting and the performances of the actors involved. This is not to say the film failed to entertain or pull moderately decent numbers at the box office, but rather it struggled to position itself as a standout film within Korea's already saturated rom-com category,...More

As we'll see, KANG is unique in that he figures into pre, peak and post kanryu cinema,...More
[HanCinema Korea's Diary] Where did it all start for you?
2012/03/10
If you had asked me five years ago about Korean cinema I would not have been able to name a single film, let alone any actors, directors, or anything close to the mark. Korean cinema in all its richness and fluidity was unknown to me and its riveting array of melodramas, thrillers, and comedies were well clear of my cinematic radar. Then, in 2007, I had my first taste of it when I came to Seoul on a brief two-week trip. In a dark and crowded apartment, I took up the chance to watch an unknown Korean horror titled "Red Eye", and that marked my first step towards becoming a true Korean cinephile,...More

South Korean Box Office in 2011
2012/01/14, Source
Korean cinema expert Darcy Paquet looks back at the results of 2011's box office with some unexpected hits and misses, the rise of independent features, and how audiences confirmed they value story over spectacle. Although the number crunchers in Hollywood estimate that US theatrical admissions sank to their lowest level since 1995, things were not so gloomy in Korea. With an estimated 160 million tickets sold (more precise figures will become available at a later date), it appears that Korea has approached or broken the modern-day record for admissions. In 2010, total admissions stopped at 146.8 million. In monetary terms, 2011 was certainly the best year ever, given the 3D surcharge and rising average ticket prices. Americans may be growing tired of the theatrical movie-going experience, but young Koreans still crowd the multiplexes,...More

How do you introduce new Korean films to an American audience? Since 2004, when I began programming the Korean Film Festival DC, the answer to this question has become more difficult to answer. This is not to say that it's harder to find good films. Quite the opposite.
