Description
COIN LOCKER GIRL | 차이나타운CLOSING FILMNORTH AMERICAN PREMIEREINTRODUCTION AND Q&A with Director Han Jun-heeHAN JUN-HEE, 2015 | CAST: KIM HYE-SOO, KIM KO-EUNSOUTH KOREA | KOREAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | 110 MINUTESPresented with the support of Korean Cultural Service in New York.“A stylish, confident directorial debut for screenwriter Han Jun-hee (who wrote Kweon Ho-young’s sci-fi mystery The Gifted Hands), this glowering crime thriller set in Incheon's Chinatown district is powered mightily by the combustible performances of its two leads, major star Kim Hye-soo as a deadlier-than-the-male female mobster and rising ingénue Kim Ko-eun as an orphan she has reared to do her dirty work but who finally turns against her adopted mother.”—The Hollywood Reporter“Han Jun-hee's debut seeks not to redefine the thriller genre in Korea so much as it tries to update it to reflect a new Korea, one in which people are beginning to resist patriarchal norms, and where immigrants can no longer be brushed aside as an afterthought (it's no accident that the story takes place in Incheon's Chinatown, the Korean title of the film).—TwitchfilmStraight outta Cannes comes this high-velocity mash-up of Mommie Dearest and Goodfellas. Veteran Korean diva Kim Hye-soo (The Thieves) has won 33 Best Actress awards since her career kicked off in 1986, and she brings all that high-caliber thesping to her star turn as the most toxic mommy on earth. Back in 1996, a corrupt cop found Il-Young (Kim Ko-eun, recipient of Rising Star Award at NYAFF 2013) abandoned in a coin locker and brought her to the criminal queen bee played by Kim Hye-soo. Discovering that the foundling has a talent for mayhem, Mom raises her up and trains her to go after the people who owe her money and snap their fingers like breadsticks. But, one day, Il-Young meets a guy she’d rather not mutilate, and defies her adoptive mom’s orders. Hell hath no fury like a mother scorned, and soon they’re tearing the city apart as they work out their mother-daughter issues with fists, guns, and knives.
