Hello. I am Director YEON Sang-ho.
00:24
For the 23rd JEONJU IFF I curated some films I loved but couldn’t watch at the cinema.
00:35
These are the films I have always wanted to watch at the cinema.
Blue Velvet
00:45
Blue Velvet
by David LYNCH has his unique style with some commercial elements.
00:56
The film fits nicely with today’s genre films.
01:01
Blue Velvet
lately comes to mind as one of one of those films
01:04
Since I watched it only on VHS, I always wanted to see it in a movie theater.
Cure
01:20
Cure
seems pretty contemporary, somewhat similar to Korean films.
01:31
The grammar of the film doesn’t look outdated either.
01:39
A bit mysterious, not showing everything.
Missing
01:53
Missing
has many elements I used to like in other films.
02:05
At some points, it reminds me of Vengeance Is Mine(IMAMURA Shohei).
02:09
Some parts remind me of KUROSAWA Kiyoshi’s films
02:13
and also BONG Joon-ho’s films.
02:18
I wanted to watch and compare them through this program.
The King of Pigs,
Train to Busan
02:33
The King of Pigs and
Train to Busan are very different.
02:40
Different in many ways like scale, popular appeal, etc.
02:45
In that regard, it will be interesting to compare them.
02:49
I have mixed feelings about
The King of Pigs
.
02:56
There are several scenes where I think, ‘why did I do that’?
03:02
Then again, I think the film has its own power in a strange way.
03:08
As a director, I’ve been mentioned the most in regards to
The King of Pigs
, even considering
Train to Busan
.
03:18
Of course, I was greatly recognized for the success of
Train to Busan
.
03:26
The King of Pigs
drew a lot of attention to me as the director.
03:29
I guess a lot of people thought the film was weird.
03:34
I hope cinephiles who love these weird, odd movies enjoy them together.
03:40
The JEONJU IFF presents other excellent programs with a ton of films.
03:47
Come and explore various films in Jeonju. Thank you.
