Written and directed by Kim Jee Woon , the dark comedy Cobweb originated from director’s personal reflections on the struggles of the entire film industry, one of heaviest hit during the pandemic.
Written and directed by Kim Jee Woon , the film came from the director’s personal reflections on the struggles of the entire film industry, one of heaviest hit during the pandemic. “It gave me time to self-reflect and also self-redefine and reestablish what cinema holds in my heart,” he expressed. “I think I wanted it to be sort of an encouragement to not just me but to everyone who is involved in cinema all over the world to really rekindle that romance, as well as encourage yourself to move even further.”
A satirical take on the business of making films, Cobweb follows the story of a ‘70s director Kim Yeol who’s obsessed with reshooting his recently-finished film after he dreams of a more powerful ending for his story. His insistence creates complications with actors, producers and even government censors, and hilarious situations on set.
Delving into his approach to the character, he shared, “It’s not important to really focus on the profession of the film director itself… put more of my thoughts into really how to carry out that energy of wanting to push forth until the end in a confined space, with so many different characters, with one purpose and one goal of finishing this film.”
But even though they’ve done five films together in the span of 25 years, according to Song, each project would feel like a brand-new journey of cinema. “And every time, I get very excited and I have high hopes. I wonder what we are going to be taking on this journey? Are we going to be on a train? What are we going to be this time around?” said Song during the presscon.
Cobweb also stars Lim Soo Jung , Oh Jung Se , Jeon Yeo Been , Jang Young Nam , Park Jung Soo , and Krystal Jung of the K-pop girl group f .Jollibee kicks off the holidays with new Christmas Chocolate Creations10 dreamy experiences in Europe, America for your 2024 travel bucket list, plus an early bird promo
