The Yellow Sea
MAIN FEATURES / UK PREMIERE
Director: Hong-jin Na.
Korea (South), 2010.
140 mins. English with English subtitles.
Set pulses to pound in this bruising South Korean crime thriller compared by the Hollywood Reporter to A TOUCH OF EVIL. Full of some of the scrappiest on-screen fights since OLDBOY, Na Hong-jin?s second feature delves into the hopeless lives of the Korean-Chinese, or Joseonjok, who live near the North Korean border. Gambler Gu-nam accepts a hit in Seoul to clear his debts yet he secretly yearns to find his estranged wife. At first, preparing to commit murder challenges Gu-nam morally, but events soon crash violently off-course. Best known for THE CHASER, Na Hong-jin's film confirms South Korea's ability to make action films that stimulate the grey cells as much as the adrenal glands.
