"A Wild Roomer" (2022)

Directed by Lee Jeong-hong

With Park Gi-hong, Ahn Joo-min, Choi Kyung-joon, Lee Gi-bbeum, Lee So-jung-I, Jeon Gil,...

Synopsis
Gi-hong is a carpenter who makes his living by taking on small interior work. He has become close to the young landlord and his wife and spends more time hanging out with them. Meanwhile, small but strange things happen to Gi-hong. Although there is nothing particularly mysterious about a Wild Roomer, the film is difficult to describe or explain. Every character goes astray a little. There is a precarious torrent in the leisure, deft humor during infinite prudence, and the space between narrow and long alleys and aisles reminds us of the ambiguous relationship and distance among people. The absolute fascination of a Wild Roomer is not in a powerful subject or a unique subject matter but in the strength of the rhythm and the state that just flows out of the way without any arguments or disputes. a Wild Roomer is a fascinating film that will linger in viewers' minds for a long time.

"Juhee from 5 to 7" (2022)

Directed by Jang Kun-jae

With Kim Joo-ryoung, Moon Ho-jin, Kim Geum-soon, Park Hye-jin, Ahn Min-young, Ok Soo-boon,...

Synopsis
Juhee (Kim Joo-ryoung), a professor of theater, is diagnosed with a possible malignant tumor at the hospital. She goes back to school and tries to settle her affairs but many people come to her lab out of the blue. In the meantime, the film intersects the story of Ho-jin, Juhee's husband and theater director. However, while the two stories intersect, there is an increasingly unusual atmosphere in the movie, and with only the time axis left 'from 5 to 7', the film opens up a fascinating chapter, making all the boundaries hazily. Director Jang Kun-jae completes Juhee′s inner story by scattering the boundaries between the story in the film and the content of the play, and the reality and dreams Juhee has. Kim Joo-ryoung, who played Minyeo in the popular drama series, Squid Game, gives a powerful performance that stands out. HONG Eunmi

"Late Autumn - 2010" (2010)

Directed by Kim Tae-yong

With Hyun Bin, Tang Wei, Kim Joon-sung, Park Mi-hyun, Kim Seo-ra, Lee Chang-yong-I,...

Remastered edition release date: 2023/11/08
Original release date: 2011/02/17
Also known as "Manchu"
"Late Autumn - 2010" is a co-production between South Korea, Hong Kong, China and the United States
Synopsis
A woman imprisoned after killing her husband is allowed her release. On her way to Seattle, a man gets on the same bus. Introducing himself as a fellow Korean, he borrows the bus fare from her and leaves his watch behind. When the two meet again in Seattle, they feel an attachment to each other.
This is a remake of Korean film of the same title directed by Lee Man-hee-I. Starring Chinese actress Tang Wei and South Korean actor Hyun Bin, this love story depicts people abandoned by society. Their story also reflects the current situation of minority groups in the United States. From among many beautifully composed scenes, the amusement park scene is truly amazing. When the two see a white couple talking each other, they dub over the conversation with their own story by watching the couple's lips. By doing this, the two organically reveal their own hurts. The scene gives the impression of a film within a film-a characteristic of director Kim Tae-yong. (LEE Sang-yong)
