  [HanCinema's Hall of Fame Review] "Mozart Town": A Daring and Dreamy Debut
  2014/06/28
  In the Spotlight this Week: Jeon Kyu-hwan's "Mozart Town": Life in a metropolis can be unforgiving and cruel. The buildings are imposing and the diversity of being is impressive, if not uncomfortably humbling; and it becomes all too easy, perhaps even necessary, to go about one's business bearing blinders and minding your own matters. But collisions are inevitable, uncomfortable and random, and sometimes--if the conditions are just right--multiple lives merge and travel together for a time, only to eventually fork off out into the cityscape. Enter "Mozart Town", a discerning debut that poetically peels back the concrete curtains of big city life to reveal, for better or worse, life under the log. These 'Humans of Seoul' that are found wriggling, are put under Jeon's lens and followed, their dreary existence exposed, and their flaws magnified under the leering light of cinematic attention and focus,...More

  [HanCinema's Film Review] "The Weight"
  2013/09/22
  Jung (played by Cho Jae-hyun) is a hunchback mortician with a very strange problem. It seems like everywhere he goes, weird sexual stuff happens. Sometimes people directly engage him with the sexual stuff. Other times they do it right in front of him, apparently oblivious or indifferent to the fact that he can see them. I like to imagine that every time this happens, Jung takes a look inside himself and wonders, what exactly went wrong with my life that I can't just be a normal mortician? "The Weight" is a film primarily about shock value. In case you couldn't guess, yeah, there's necrophilia involved. It's actually not that big of a component, compared to all the other weird sexual stuff that's going on,...More
