Trivia
Things worth knowing
- 1Released 18 years ago.
- 2Lean credit list — fewer than 30 people officially credited.
- 3Directed by Oh Jeom-gyoon, shot by Jang Seong-baek. Note their partnership — DPs and directors often return to each other across a career.
- 4Original score by Bang Jun-seok. Worth a dedicated listen after — most great films lose half their impact without the score.
- 5Editor Lee Eun-su shaped the rhythm. On an edit-heavy film, the editor does more to control your pulse than the director.
- 6Kim Hae-sook and Ki Joo-bong and Kim Young-min carry the top of the cast.
- 7IMDB entry: tt13729332 — still the authoritative cross-reference for credits and trivia.
