Sundance Selects Driving with My Wife's Lover

The 2007 Sundance Film Festival's line-up includes the Korean feature "Driving With My Wife's Lover". Director Kim Tae-sik's film is selected for the World Cinema Dramatic Competition. Korean-American KIM Gina's "Never Forever" will feature in the Independent Film Competition and will have its premiere at Sundance.

The world premiere of "Driving With My Wife's Lover" - produced by Film Line and supported by the Korean Film Council - was at this year's Pusan International Film Festival. The film was praised by the press for its exploration of love, loneliness and maleness, visual style and humor.

PARK Kwang-jung's character finds out that his wife cheats on him with a taxi driver played by JEONG Bo-seong. He intentionally takes his wife's lover's cab to confront him during a long-distance drive. With solid acting the two created an intriguing dynamism between them that interacts well with the well-written scenario's unexpected twists and humor. Kim Jeon-han and Kim Tae-sik are responsible for the scenario.
