Release date: June 2012
Jin-soo is an unemployed film director, killing time waiting for news on whether his current project, his third attempt, will get funded. His friend, Tae-wook, is a character actors in B-level ganster films. Tae-wook shows up in a fancy rented car, insisting that, as filmmakers, they musto go to the Busan International Film Festival. In Busan, they crash parties, carouse, meet groupies, and even catch part of a film!
An engaging muse on what minor filmmakers and actors might do at film festivals, the film is backgrounded at the BIFF, with a number of stars playing cameos of themselves to add verisimilitude. If watching this film doesn't make you want to book a plane ticket for Busan for October, I don't know what will. If you love film, you'll love this film!
My take: 5 stars!
Our
filmmakers crash a festival party where the introverted
director
Jin-soo (Song Sam-dong) is urged by the garrulous
actor
Tae-wook (Kim Jeong-tae) to get out there and start networking.
