The Most Beautiful Night in the World
You could consider it an inevitable progression, looking at his career. Lee Chang-Dong started as a novelist (a very acclaimed one at that), and then moved to writing screenplays for some of the biggest names of the early 90s, including Park Gwang-Soo. After striking consecutive jackpots, from 1997’s 초록물고기 (Green Fish) to 2000’s 박하사탕 (Peppermint Candy), from 2002’s 오아시스 (Oasis) to last year’s fabulous 밀양 (Secret Sunshine), he’s become one of the most renowned directors in Asia, and perhaps Chungmuro’s most acclaimed voice. Lee’s new project was among the 30 titles from 17 countries supported by the PPP (Pusan Promotion Plan), which also included 타짜 (Tazza: The High Rollers) director Choi Dong-Hoon’s new sageuk, 전우치 (Jeon Woo-Chi).
Screen International just revealed a few more details about Lee’s next project, which is tentatively entitled 시 (Poetry). The film, which will be distributed by Fine Cut, tells the story of an old woman, living alone with her teenager grandson. In some ways, it sounds like a more “poetic” version of 집으로 (The Way Home), with a mischievous young boy and an elder trying to tame him, this time through her first ever poem, which will try to guide his behavior from now on. Nothing else to report other than the film’s predicted release for next year, and the fact Lee is writing the script as we speak. We’ll keep you posted on this in the coming months.
