The Jang Sun-woo Variations poster
8.0

Divided into chapters, the documentary examines Jang's career and films from many different angles and includes the voices not only of those who have worked with Jang but also of numerous ordinary Koreans who have been affected by his work. Individual chapters are devoted to such topics as Jang's idiosyncratic hairstyle and the controversy surrounding his previous feature Lies. The documentary tries to place Jang and his work in the widest possible social context, not only in the context of Korean cinema. At its heart is a series of remarkably candid and revealing interviews with Jang himself.

A man in a borrowed SUV picks up a woman outside Seoul’s domestic airport and drives her to a small enclave of restaurants, nightclubs and motels on the west coast. Both are middle-aged and married to other people, and know little about each other’s lives. After a seafood dinner and a visit to a karaoke lounge, they go to bed together for the first (and maybe last) time.

Digital Search poster
NR

The director vaguely thinks that he should try to find something new. He is captured by the obsession to find something new because it is digital. For the moment he gets out on the streets with his digital camera and he snoops around. While he explores the digital world capturing street girls under the red lights, firemen and kindergarteners, we can find something new that we've missed in our ordinary lives before.
