Yoo Ah-in and Steven Yeun in “Burning.” (May 17)
(My most anticipated film of the year ).
‘Burning’ is story about youths that speaks with the heart.
Watching a Lee Chang-dong movie is not exactly a “kick back and relax” type of experience, as the director challenges viewers by posing questions as a form of communication, inviting them to ponder relevant issues in modern society like one of ethics.
“This film is a story of youths, and one I wished to communicate with them through their sentiments and emotions,” Lee said, adding that although questions about ethics may usually involve intellect, this movie is closer to the heart.
The movie is based on “Barn Burning,” a short story by Haruki Murakami inspired by William Faulkner’s short story of the same name, which explores a mystery about a man who burned down a barn and the metaphor it stands for. http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20180504000672
I’m very impressed with his choices in films.
While I don’t worship the grounds he walks on, I think Yoo Ah-in has earned his place in Chungmuro as a solid film star.
Impressive for an actor his age who didn’t start off in films. I can see him as one of the top film actors in the future.
It’s not easy to cross-over from drama to having a solid film career but he has done it in only a few years.
