Top Cineastes to Grace Art Film Fest

By Lee Hyo-won

That special time of the year has come around, when South Korea’s top filmmakers and actors turn into film festival programmers. The 4th Cinematheque Friends Film Festival will take place Jan. 29-March 1 in Seoul, and director Park Chan-wook and some 20 other cineastes will meet with the audience to show and discuss 26 movies they have personally selected. . . . .

Director Jeon Kye-soo (“Midnight Ballad for Ghost Theater”) and heartthrob Ha Jung-woo (“The Chaser”) will join the audience for “His Girl Friday” (1940), Feb. 20. Jeon said he chose the movie because his upcoming project starring Ha is also a romantic comedy. “When romantic comedies started to appear in the sound film era, `His Girl Friday’ presented something new and fresh. It is heavy with dialogue and takes place in a limited space, but it has an exciting tempo,” he said, adding that the film might inspire him for his own work. “I also wanted to show Ha Jung-woo, Cary Grant,” he said. . . . .

There are so many lines in Love Fiction. Compared with average one, scenario is much thicker. My film’s actor has to read the lines 1. 5 times faster than other films’s actor. . . . .

The hero always comes under attack for his unintended talking. Love Fiction is a love story of novelist who always fails in love, but always dreams to being in love. My goal is to complete a rhythmical screwball comedy. . . . .
