Korean films have been gaining more attention internationally. This year at the prestigious Cannes International Film Festival, three Korean movies will be screened: "The Target", "A Girl At My Door", and "Breath".
"The Target", directed by Chang, will be screened for a midnight screening. It stars Ryu Seung-ryong, and is a remake of the 2010 French movie titled "Point Blank". In the story, a former mercenary is accused of a crime he isn't guilty of. He embarks to prove his innocence, but finds himself in the middle of a dangerous conspiracy. "The Target" is scheduled to premiere in Korea's theatres on April 30th.
"A Girl At My Door" boasts a cast of Bae Doo-na, Song Sa-byeok, and Kim Sae-ron. It's a mystery film directed by a newcomer filmmaker Jang Ju-ri. It takes place in a small Korean town bordering the ocean, and follows a series of disturbing events. It is scheduled for a release in Korea sometime in May.
"Breath" will be one of 16 short films screened at the festival this year, directed by a Chungang University student named Kwon Hyun-ju. The 33-minute-long movie is about a young woman who has to deal with the news that her mother has been pronounced brain-dead.
The Cannes International Film Festival will run from May 14-25th this year.
