Back in November we brought you the second trailer for Na Hong-Jin's THE YELLOW SEA, now forward on to last week when the movie was annouce as part of the Un Certain programmes at next month's Cannes Film Festival. I think since ive seen I Saw The Devil back in February Ive became a massive of fan of South Korean films since then Ive watched Bedevilled, Nowhere Man, Oldboy (again) and Woochi The Demon Slayer in which Yun-seok Kim from The Yellow Sea stars in. If your a fan of the country's movies you may know of Hong-jin's work from his internationally acclaimed The Chaser but The YellowSea (once called Murderer) is a lot more sophomore affair and The Yellow Sea does look like one of the best crime movies for 2011 to watch out for fingers crossed it will arrive in the UK & Ireland in some format this year.
On the Chinese side of the China-Russia-North Korea border, there is a region called Yanbian, Korean Autonomous Prefecture. This film tells the story of a man from this region, who embarks on an assassination mission to South Korea in order to pay off his mounting debts. He is only given $500 in advance and takes the job without knowing much about his target. However, before long a series of conspiracies and betrayals bring him to the realization that he has been tricked into entering a dangerous trap.
