BORDERLINES FILM FESTIVAL
Director: Lee Chang-dong
Starring: Yoo Ah-in, Steven Yeun, Jeon Jong-seo
South Korea, 2018
Lee Chang-dong’s follow-up to Poetry is a sublime mystery thriller of obsessive love, adapted from Haruki Murakami’s short story Barn Burning.
An isolated young man, Jong-soo has a menial job in Seoul and dreams of becoming a writer, when he is accosted by Hae-mi, who claims to remember him from their shared village childhood. They begin a relationship, but when she returns from a trip accompanied by the wealthy, urbane Ben, Jong-soo is puzzled and confused.
Chang-dong fleshes out Murakami’s slender short story to create a mysterious world of immense power that this epic, slow-burning film hooks us into, alongside its main character.
Running time: 2hrs 28mins
Cert: 15
Language: Korean with English subtitles

Absolutely superb. A slow burner that immediately hooks you in. Intense with magnetic performances. I felt as though I'd been living in Korea for the last 2.5 hours. Go see!
