Set during the Vietnam war, the film follows B, Fai and Wing (iconic actors Tony Leung Chiu-Wai, Jacky Cheung and Waise Lee), three best friends fleeing from Hong Kong to seek their fortune as smugglers. In Saigon, they join forces with fellow expat Continue reading
“The Sin” Poster
There are two extremes when it comes to directorial debuts in Korea – on the one end you’ve got the gritty social dramas, tending to focus on those dwelling on the bottom rungs of societies ladder and the struggles of their every day lives. On the other, you’ve got an almost avant garde approach that could best be described as go hard or go home, in which first time filmmakers go for broke in bringing their most creatively ambitious ideas to the screen like they’d never have a chance to make a sophomore feature. Of course, sometimes that turns out to be exactly the case. We’ve never heard from director Lee Sa-rang again after 2017’s wildly chaotic debut Real, nor from Jude Chun after 2022’s Unidentified, however a part of me still hopes that we do. The same applies for Han Dong-seok, who in 2024 made his debut with The Sin.
Best described as a Korean take on the arthouse genre, proceedings open in a suitably meta manner with a director, played by Park Ji-hoon (The Boys, Gentleman), looking to cast a dancer as the lead for his new movie, of which details like story and characters are scarce, except for the fact that it’ll be “experimental”. A budding dancer, played by Kim Yoon-hye (The Advocate: A Missing Body, Ghost Sweepers), is successful in auditioning for the role, and despite the lack of detail over the kind of movie she’s Continue reading
