Let’s be honest: 2021 was one of the worst years Korean cinema had in recent times. One would’ve hoped that they would have built upon the brilliant couple years that 2019 ad 2020 were but sadly that wasn’t to be. The pandemic situation did not help, with many production houses deciding to pull scheduled releases, halting production or waiting on things to calm down before releasing some projects that have big money riding on them. Even on the indie cinema front, which actually thrived in 2021 due to the lack of mainstream releases, did not manage to impress with what little out there was.
Things however do seem to be on the up with this year, as a few postponed releases are finally getting rescheduled and seeing theatrical releases. New releases are also being talked about and promotional material for some long gestating projects is also being circulated. Without further ado,...

Chang-bok (Yoo Jae-Myung) and Tae-in (Yoo Ah-in) sell eggs from the back of a truck in the country. It’s honest work but hardly pays the bills. So rather than go home when they change their clothes, they drive to an old, abandoned warehouse. Now donning ponchos, they spread plastic sheets below the only thing it can be hanging above: the body of a tied-up man, beaten and confused. If they’re being honest, this gig acting as set-up and clean-up crew for a local cartel doesn’t pay that much either. It’s consistent work, though, and the boss seems to like them enough to offer a couple side jobs. One such request has just been delivered.
They don’t like the task when asked and like it even less when they discover some details were left out. The boss merely stated that he wanted them to watch somebody for a couple days.

Victims of sexual assaults may report the crime against them to the police, but often the perpetrators walk away unscathed, never caught. The victims try to push forward with life as best as they can, never really forgetting what happened to them but trying to lock up the incident in a remote part of their minds. But what happens if, years later when the victim has seemingly moved on, they find out that the perpetrator has been caught? This is the central idea behind Park Sun-woo’s debut film “Way Back Home” (not to be confused with the Jeon Do-yeon starring 2013 film of the same name), which premiered at Busan International Film Festival.
“Way Back Home” is screening in Hong Kong Arts Centre on Friday 22/5 at 7:30 pm

Tae-in (Yoo Ah-in) and Chang-bok (Yoo Jae-myung) are partners in crime, but not in the exciting way you might expect. They work as cleaners, tidying up crime scenes after the fact to make sure the police never find them. It's a job, and they don't have a lot of choice, living in a poor rural community. Occasionally they do other bits and pieces on the side. When a dangerous crime boss asks them to look after a kidnapped girl, both men feel out of their depth, but they don't have enough power to have any choice, so they take the girl, Cho-hee (Moon Seung-ah) to Tae-in's house, and that's where things begin to go in an unexpected direction.
Cho-hee's first reaction upon seeing the place is one of shock. Coming from a very different world, she can't quite believe that anyone lives in such a small, squalid place - let alone.

After his films “Broken” and “Bestseller”, Korean filmmaker Jung-ho Lee has directed a remake, or rather re-imagination of the French thriller “36th Precinct” by Olivier Marchal. While there are certain similarities between the two titles, Lee has made quite a different film within the specific cultural background of his home country. Besides telling a story about corruption his movie takes a look at the steps a person is willing to take if the reward is a promotion, a raise in one’s salary or, simply put, the idea of superiority in a world where power and influence is the ultimate currency.
