The film will be released nationwide. Cast comments from Kwon Yuri (Girls' Generation), Kwak Sun Young, and Lee Sul, as well as an alternative poster, have now been released.
"Invader" and "invaded" - a shocking work that exposes the depths of this intertwined relationship.
Starting with being officially invited to the Korean Cinema Today Panorama section of the 2015 Busan International Film Festival, the film has been invited to many prestigious film festivals around the world, capturing the hearts of audiences.
This deeply moving film achieved the remarkable feat of being the first Korean live-action film to debut at number one, creating a huge buzz. The film stars Kwon Yuri (Girls' Generation), Kwak Sun Young, Lee Sul, and Ki Soyoung.
She casts aside her familiar image and plays a sharp and sensitive character whose own choices are torn apart. A mother tormented by the weight of responsibility and fear of her daughter's dangerous actions.
The daughter looks at her mother with a disturbing gaze. 20 years later, a cheerful and innocent intruder suddenly appears in the home of a woman who has lost her childhood memories. Is this encounter a coincidence or fate?
The two stories of the past and the present are connected by an "unexpected intrusion" and intertwine like hell. The story is so intense and realistic that it creates a suffocating tension and disturbing murmurs.
The story awakens a sense of madness that slowly eats away at the hearts of all who watch. Regarding her role in this film, Kwon Yuri said, "The scenario was very interesting, and since it was originally a webtoon,
So, it was very helpful that it was concretely defined in advance. Sol and I met frequently before filming, so we were able to practice acting and talk a lot about personal matters." Kwak Sun Young said, "The role
The character's personality and purpose were so clear that there was no need for a special preparation process, so I was able to express myself within that.
It was a wonderful script and I had a great time." Lee Sul added, "Strangely enough, the directors and I lived close to each other. We were within walking distance, so we met frequently during the preparation and filming periods.
We met and discussed. During that time, I watched "Pearl," "Funny Game," and "The Housemaid" by director Kim Ki-young, which were recommended by the directors, and I realized that this was the direction they wanted to go in.
"So I was thinking about what I could do," she said, praising the script and sharing the story. Regarding thriller and horror films, Kwon Yuri said, "I love thrillers.
I like it. Rather than being surprised or having ghosts, I like the genre that keeps you on the edge of your seat, making you wonder who the culprit is, and making you deduce and pursue them. I want to be one of those people in that genre.
I was happy to be able to do this, and more than anything, when I read the script, I read it from start to finish in one go," he said, revealing a surprising side of himself.
Regarding the major theme of this work, "motherhood,"
Kwak Sun Young said, "Motherhood is an endless emotion. In the extremely difficult circumstances shown in the film, you may wonder if you really have to go that far for your child.
Because they care about what others think, they want to maintain the normal life that others see, or they feel that they have worked so hard and cannot give up now, so they continue to try more.
The passion to return this child to a normal, happy time was expressed as an emotion that goes beyond maternal love." Regarding the new image each actor showed in this work, Lee Sul said, "I'm an independent.
I've appeared in many independent films, but I think this is the first time I've played a role that doesn't have a dialect or isn't set as a foreigner. As a Korean, I was happy to be able to speak the language of Seoul.
"Just that was a new experience for me," he said. The comments only heighten expectations for the mind-shattering story that unfolds in a script that each cast member praises highly.
The two alternative posters that were also released feature illustrations by Ai Shinomiya, an illustrator known for her book cover illustrations for Natsuo Kirino's "Darkness."
The poster, which features Youngwoon and Seohyun embracing each other, was designed by graphic designer Narita Yuto, who also worked on the film's teaser and main posters.
The illustration was inspired by the idea of "sexuality." Is this embrace "love," or is it "restraint" to prevent the monster from being released into the world? The child's innocent expression and the reflection on the water surface
The completely different expressions reveal Seohyun's dual nature, creating a quiet yet heart-wrenching sadness. The contrast between black and white, and the yellow that can be interpreted as a warning signal, create a striking scene.
The poster for "Seo" was inspired by Seohyun's "Horror Experience Pretend Play." The moment it captures the beginning of the dangerous game of horror experience pretense exudes a sense of foreboding.
However, it is simple and refined, and while it leaves room for interpretation for the viewer, it is an eerie alternative poster that exudes a mysterious sense of anxiety and unfathomable loneliness.
Is this encounter a coincidence or a fate? When the past and future intersect, the present gradually breaks down. The film "Invasion" will be shown at Shinjuku Picade from Friday, September 5th.
