Program Note
Unlike Director CHO Bareun’s name, which means ‘righteous’, his movie Gang is not righteous at all. And it’s completely charming because it’s not righteous. I Recommend Gang to the following audience; those who think Volcano High, the mighty Korean comedy film was underestimated; those who love KWAK Gyeongtaek’s Friend and RYOO Seungwan’s Die Bad; those who think JUNG Woosung & LEE Jungjae couple is charming in KIM Suongsoo’s City of the Rising Sun; those who imagine the comedy adaptation of David FINCHER’s Fight Club into a Korean-style comedy film. Gang gives the impression that these movies are freely or abnormally adapted. Let’s just say this. There’s a school of bad students, which isn’t really the place to learn, but a sham fight club. Let’s put it this way. Gang gets a blow in Korean established genre movies with its sophisticated action, sleek comedy and quirky characters. (JUNG Han-Seok)
