Description
THE ROYAL TAILOR | 상의원NEW YORK PREMIERE (U.S. CONTINENTAL PREMIERE)INTRODUCTION & Q&A w/ director LEE WON-SUKLEE WON-SUK, 2014 | CAST: HAN SUK-KYU, KO SOO, PARK SHIN-HYE, YOO YEON-SEOKSOUTH KOREA | KOREAN WITH ENGLISH SUBTITLES | FORMAT: DCP | 127 MINUTESPresented with the support of Korean Cultural Service in New York.Co-presented with The Korea SocietyTwo years after his anarchic comedy How to Use Guys with Secret Tips, Lee Won-suk returns with his second feature, an ambitious, big-budget period drama about the clash between tradition and modernity in the royal court of 18th-century Korea. After serving the court for three decades, the king’s tailor Jo Dol-seok (Han Suk-kyu) is on the brink of rising to the rank of nobleman. But his life's dream is threatened with the sudden appearance of young, handsome, and carefree “designer” Lee Gong-jin whose radical fashion ideas quickly earn the Queen's favor. Unlike most films about the power of art (and music), Lee lets Jo Sang-gyeong’s striking costume designs speak for themselves, without resorting to reaction shots or exposition. The film's traditional costumes took as much as six months to create, at a cost just shy of $1 million. A playful, fresh, and daring reinvention of one of Korea’s most conservative film genres.
