Description

[Machine Translation] An 18-year-old boy who is involved in evil and a man from the underworld who takes him in. A new talent has been unearthed in the Korean film industry, which continues to depict the darkness of social inequality. Director Kim Chang-hoon, who led his debut feature film to the Cannes International Film Festival, has created a dead-end crime drama that combines physical pain and emotional cries, whose original title means "The Netherlands. Hong Sabin, in her first starring role in a film, gives a powerful performance as Yeon-kyu, who bursts into flames to protect her sister-in-law Hayan from the irredeemable reality. Song Joong-ki, who has starred in "Vincenzo" and "Lo Kiwan," was so taken with the script that he eagerly requested the role of Chi-gon. He is an evil man with a sense of emptiness and sadness. The strong-hearted Ha-Yang is played by Kim Hyun-Soo, a popular singer widely known as "BIBI," who won the Best Newcomer Award at the Baeksoo Art Awards for his performance in this film. Despite the circumstances that prevent the characters from having what they want, this story touches the depths of their hearts and their longing for freedom, and it will leave the viewer with a tight feeling in their hearts. --Yeon-kyu (Hong Sabin), an 18-year-old who is frightened by his stepfather's domestic violence, is suspended from high school after committing a violent act to protect his sister-in-law, Ha-yang (Kim Hyun-soo), and is also asked for money to settle the case. He is also required to pay the settlement. His dream is to move to the Netherlands someday, but he is unable to achieve it. When Yeon-kyu is fired from his part-time job, he has no choice but to knock on the door of Ji-gon (Song Jun-ki), the leader of a local crime syndicate. Young-gyu gradually gains the respect of Chi-gon, whom he admires, by doing "stealing" in the name of work, but one day, he disobeys the ruthless rules of the organization. One day, however, he disobeys the organization's ruthless code and runs to Chi-gon, even involving Ha-yang, who has been with him throughout his rough life....

このろくでもない世界で/ 洋画

傷だらけの魂が響き合う＜韓国ノワール＞悪に手を染める18歳の少年と、その道に引き入れた裏社会の男。社会格差の闇を描き続ける韓国映画界から新たな才能が発掘された。長編デビュー作にしてカンヌ国際映画祭へ導いたキム・チャンフン監督が、原題はオランダを意味する、身体的痛みと心の叫びが渾然一体となったデッドエンド (行き止まり)のクライム・ドラマを創出した。救いようのない現実から義理の妹ハヤンを守り抜くために暴発するヨンギュを漲るエネルギーで体現したのは、映画初主演のホン・サビン。本作の脚本に惚れ込み、チゴン役を熱望したのは、『ヴィンチェンツォ』『ロ・ギワン』等の主演作を誇るソン・ジュンギ。大きく作り上げた体躯になまなましい傷を全身に刻み、虚無感と悲哀を纏った悪の男に成り切った。芯の強いハヤン役には本作で百想芸術大賞の新人演技賞に輝いた、"BIBI"として広く知られる人気シンガーのキム・ヒョンソ。登場人物それぞれの望みさえ抱けない境遇とは裏腹に、自由を渇望する彼らの心の深淵にまで触れるこの物語は、観る者の胸を締めつけてやまない。 ――継父のDVに怯える18歳のヨンギュ (ホン・サビン)は、義理の妹ハヤン (キム・ヒョンソ)を守るために暴力沙汰を起こして高校を停学、その上、示談金を求められる。行き止まりの現実に苦しむ彼の夢は、いつの日かオランダへ移住すること。その願いも空しくバイト先をクビになったヨンギュは、地元の犯罪組織のリーダー、チゴン (ソン・ジュンギ)の門戸を叩くほかなかった。仕事という名の"盗み"を働き、徐々に憧れのチゴンに認められていくヨンギュだったが、ある日、組織の非情な掟に背いてしまう。荒んだ日常の中で互いに寄り添ったハヤンをも巻き込み、意を決してチゴンのもとへ駆けつけるが・・・。
