The trailer in the OP didn't really give a good indication what the film is about.
Melodrama & gunbattles?

I would say it's a mystery movie, but in typical Park Chan Wook fashion also in some ways doubles as a black comedy. Two North Korean soldiers are found dead in the DMZ and a South Korean soldier confesses to the murders leading to tension between the two countries. An independent investigation is launched and the movie explores the events that lead up to the murders as well as the relationship between the three soldiers.

I'm not a huge fan of South Korean cinema (culturally I find certain things impenetrable and I honestly think they all have really weird pacing even the movies I love), but this movie got me taking much more notice of it and was my introduction to Park Chan Wook. It's good stuff.

Didn't particularly like "Begin Again" But need it to continue collection & they are kept sealed. Same will be for this release Although it will just be a lenti (if they are doing one)

They could release " The magic Roundabout" for all I care lol The urge to complete a collection is toooooo strong!

 

[bojee]

Great film! Looking forward to seeing the different slips

 

[kenny222]

I just read Job Seekers Allowance there. Ha

 

[bonakaze]

Awesome !! I really like this movie !!!

 

[earthscope]

Really enjoyed the film when I first saw it 15 years ago.
But this needs to be a remastered version with full HD Audio for Blu ray...

If it's the old original transfer formatted onto blu ray then I'll pass...

 

[kynyoo]

Not a big fan of the movie, but this red artwork in full gloss could be awesome !

 

[Deleted member 9789]

Not a fan of the artwork but I do like the movie so hoping for a newly mastered amaray maybe...

 

[Butz2k]

I just read Job Seekers Allowance there. Ha

Lol Never heard of this film but that was my first thought too!

 

[Sigill]

I hadn't heard of this before but it looks decent from the trailer. The Steelbook looks good too.

 

[Hartigan]

Haven't seen this yet either but will check it out. The steelbook looks awesome.

 

[lolwut]

YES! This is the best announcement I've heard in ages. The film is absolutely fantastic (what else do you expect from Park Chan Wook?) I've been waiting for this to come out on Blu-ray for years and for it to get a Nova steel is even better!

JSA is a great movie but I can't double -dip on this as the steel art isn't that good imo
I NEED Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance on steel, please make this happen Nova!

Double dip? You already own this on Blu-ray somehow?

Never heard of this, but its good Novamedia are supporting their domestic films.

The trailer in the OP didn't really give a good indication what the film is about.
Melodrama & gunbattles?

Crime/mystery.

 

[zoneism]

Cool film, and very bright artwork on that steelbook!! I think my retinas are now broken!

 

[StifflersDad]

Got this on dvd at the moment. Awesome to get the steelbook. Now patiently waiting for SHIRI to be released!

 

[Inside Wireman]

Best announcement of the year!
Easily my favorite Park Chan-wook film.
Happy to see it getting a steel.
Hope it has subs for all audio, not just Korean like the DVD.

 

[jayce20]

never heard of this movie, 15 YO allready ? wow

and we are still waiting for "a bittersweet life" arghhhh lol

 

[Halvari]

Blind buy for me.. Really looking forward watching this!
Novas 1st korean steelbook release in their own collection. Hopefully more

 

[davhyl]

Double dip? You already own this on Blu-ray somehow?

Misleading there sorry, I only have it on DVD! Obviously the BD will be a huge improvement

 

[Jango]

awesome, the first nova release im actually interested in, but i have a feeling this will end like the only kimchi release i was interested in (infernal affairs) and stay in stock forever.

 

[hayemaker]

Watched JSA last night following this announcement, and it's now a definite purchase for me.
