Director Kim Dae-woo's official interview released. Only one week left until the release. Cast comment video also arrives.
Director Kim Dae-woo, who has established his own style across time and genre, returns to human relationships in this film.
Director Kim Dae-woo, who reinterpreted the Joseon dynasty classic novel "The Servant" in the film "The Secret of Chunhyang: The Servant," has revived the classic.
The film won the support of audiences with its clear storytelling, bold direction, and beautiful visuals. In the sequel, "Addicted to Love," he cast Song Seung-ho and told the story of a man who was oppressed and in a state of depression after the Vietnam War in the 1960s.
Depicting desire and forbidden love, he has established himself as a master of genre films by combining heightened tension with visual beauty. Kim Dae-woo's works always take on new perspectives and challenges.
The film challenges conventional wisdom, delves into instinctive and primal emotions, and leaves a deep impression on the audience. This film, which marks the director's return after a 10-year hiatus, is a unique closed-room thriller that will pique the audience's curiosity.
Director Kim Dae-woo, who delicately portrayed the clash of secrets and repressed emotions of Jin (Song Seung-ho), Suyeong (Cho Yeo Jung), and Mijoo (Park Ji-hyeon), said, "There are secrets that can't be shared with anyone.
"There is a clash between the desires to possess and the desire to possess. This time, I wondered what would happen if secrets called for more secrets and they collided.
Regarding the difference between this film and previous works by director Kim Dae-woo, he said, "In the past, I wanted to express something comical.
However, this time I wanted to create a work that was dense, serious, and intimate, without those kinds of aspects," he said, and about each character, "I want to create something that is not just about the goodwill and kindness that each character has, but also about the reversals.
Repeatedly, certain intentions and desires intersect with each other and are decided in an instant, and as a result, there are no good or bad people among humans. This is what I wanted to express through my work.
The actors listened to my opinions very well, but I wanted to project them as characters whose good and evil were unclear. I also wanted them to have memories of playing such characters.
"I wanted to express the humanity that I wanted to express in this work," he said. The thing he was most nervous about in writing this quirky closed-room thriller was, "First of all, I had to hire a skilled and experienced head strategist.
I placed emphasis on working with my teammates. I gave them a lot of autonomy, and rather than me giving them detailed instructions, I let them do what they wanted because they were already very detailed.
I thought I needed a lot of help. I really demanded great attention to detail from the director in charge of photography, art direction, and music. My role was to ensure that the environment was right for that to be fully expressed.
Regarding this, the lead actor, Song Seung-ho, said, "We focused on the details even more than in 'Addicted to Love.' Even for a simple line, we had to shoot it dozens of times.
I think that when you watch the movie, you will feel that the character of Song Jin is a little different from the characters I have played so far. I am very excited about it.
"It was a very happy time because we have a trusting relationship," he said. This is the second time he has worked with Song Seung-ho and the third time with Cho Yeo Jung, and he said, "I'm sure both of them will never fade away."
He is an actor who is always humble towards people, has confidence as an actor, and is energetic, and together with the two of them, any difficult problem can be easily solved."
Finally, he addressed the audience, saying, "We really paid attention to the audio. We want you to experience the visual impact and the massive sound of the theater, rather than the sound from your phone. It was a great experience."
"I can confidently say that you will experience the IMAX sensation of the film. You will have an emotional IMAX experience," he said. In addition, with one week until the film's release, Song Seung-ho, Cho Yeo Jung, and Park Ji-hyeon commented:
The final video has arrived! "There is one week left until the release of 'Higan'. Everyone, please look forward to it! Hello to the Japanese audience who are eagerly awaiting the release. There is one week left.
It will be released in 2021, so please come to the cinema and experience the interesting setting and story. See you at the cinema!"
The movie "Higan" will be released nationwide from Friday, June 20th at Shinjuku Piccadilly and other theaters.
