[Movie 2010] Late Autumn 만추

[Guest adikkeluangman]

Stars attend the VIP premiere of “Late Autumn”

In Seoul, there was only one place for its VIPs to be on the night of February 11th, and that was at the CGV Yongsan IMAX. Stars and the media flocked to attend the premiere for Hyun Bin’s highly anticipated film, ”Late Autumn“.

Loosely based off the popular 1966 Korean film, “Full Autumn“, “Late Autumn” follows a story of romance between a woman (Tang Wei) on parole and a man (Hyun Bin) on the run. The film was said to be shot in the foggy cityscape of Seattle, which best fit the paradoxically intense, yet fleeting nature of their love.

The premiere drew in big names like Lee Tae Sung, Ji Jin Hee, Choi Daniel, Park Soo Jin, Sung Yuri, Son Eun Seo, Seo Do Young, Ha Ji Won, Kim Sa Rang, Kim Sung Oh, Joo Jin Mo, Lee Soo Man, Kim Min Jong, Key (SHINee), Minho (SHINee), Taemin (SHINee), and many more!

'Late Autumn,' a modern fairytale for adults

By Lee Hyo-won

Heart-stopping and transcending sentimentality, Kim Tae-yong’s “Late Autumn” is a remake with a greater purpose than simply pairing superstars in a new setting.

The Hyun Bin-Tang Wei vehicle is the fourth retelling of Lee Man-hee’s 1966 “Full Autumn,” which itself is based on a novel. Taking the story to Seattle heightens the feeling of urban alienation and the urgency of an unexpected romance, as two of Asia’s biggest stars become socially outcast ethnic minorities. The film was perhaps unjustly excluded from the Berlinale’s competition pool — though it will vie for the top prize at the Fribourgh Film Festival next month.

While serving her seventh year for killing her violent husband, Anna (Tang, the unforgettable heroine of Ang Lee’s “Lust, Caution”) heads to Seattle to attend her mother’s funeral on a 72-hour parole — “the first compassionate release ever granted a murderer,” one of her relatives reminds her, before another reprimands his insensitivity.

But having grown accustomed to being called Inmate No. 2537, she feels at a loss to see how much the world outside bars has changed. Little children — apparently her nieces and nephews — return curious stares; an old flame is now happily married but still makes her heart flutter with his causal remarks; and her own brother is preoccupied with the inheritance, though their mother has not yet been buried.

She finds solace in the least expected of places — in a complete stranger with questionable motives. Hoon (“Come Rain, Come Shine” heartthrob Hyun), a Korean immigrant who makes a living as a callboy, chances upon Anna and makes it a point to please her, no questions asked. “Hoon appears before Anna like an angel and shines a ray of warmth on her difficult life,” Tang told reporters in Seoul last Thursday following the local press preview.

Unlike our chained down protagonist, Hoon is on the perennial run, attending to clients while being chased by one of these women’s jealous husbands. In the meantime, however, he takes an interest in Anna — the first customer he isn’t able to satisfy — and the curiosity turns into something more. It’s a shocking revelation for someone who had been selling love one night at a time — a luxury he dares not seek to give or receive.

“Hoon seems cheerful on the outside, and his job requires him to maintain such a facade. Making others happy consoles him somewhat but at the same time deepens his own pain,” Hyun said.

The actors bring a fine balance to the emotionally dense narrative, with Tang expressing more with her silence (or the occasional rambling monologues in Chinese), and Hyun providing the dynamism and unwarranted humor. “The script was interesting, because, despite being dialogue-heavy, there was much room for interpretation, and the tone of the film could easily change depending on the approach,” said Hyun.

The director brings a subtle, nuanced lyricism to the story, which maintains a strong arthouse appeal, complete with elements of fantasy, while not alienating general audiences. Some of the most intense moments unravel quite unexpectedly, such as the funeral scene which incisively portrays a deep divide that exists within a family and an individual.

In the end, “Late Autumn” is a simple story of girl meets boy — but sometimes the lives we lead as older children come with more strings attached than we wish. Anna is destined to return behind bars in a few hours’ time while Hoon’s hunters trail all too near.

Now showing in local theaters. Distributed by CJ Entertainment.

Movie Review: Late Autumn

Earlier this month, we reported that “Late Autumn” would be making its way to the United States, and I got a chance to view the pre-screening of the film at CGV Cinemas in order to present you all with this movie review!

—

“Late Autumn” is the second remake of the 1966 Korean hit film of the same title. Chinese actress Tang Wei stars as the lead role in the film, Anna, alongside Korean heartthrob actor Hyun Bin, who plays the role of Hoon, a gigolo on the run from a former client’s husband.

After having killed her physically abusive husband in self defense, Anna is imprisoned, but 7 years later she is given a 72-hour parole to be present at her mother’s funeral. As she takes the bus to head to Seattle, Hoon boards the bus at the last minute but finds that he doesn’t have enough money to pay for the ticket. He asks Anna to lend him $30 and later gives her his watch as his promise to repay her. Upon arriving in Seattle, Anna clearly shows her lack of interest in Hoon, but as their paths cross, she begins to confide in Hoon about her loneliness in love and in regards to her family.

This tri-lingual film (English, Korean, Mandarin) was definitely more than I was expecting. The chemistry between Tang Wei and Hyun Bin was fantastic, even through their accented English. Though the movie itself did not have much dialogue, much was spoken in the silences through the expressions and gestures of the actors.

I was particularly impressed with Tang Wei’s portrayal of a troubled heartbroken woman who steps out into the world for the first time in 7 years. One of the scenes I remember most was one in which Anna pours out her heartaches to Hoon in full-fledged Mandarin, as Hoon responds with the only Mandarin he knows, hao (good) and buhao (bad).

“Late Autumn” will open in Los Angeles (CGV Cinemas) and Seattle (AMC Alderwood 16) this Friday, June 17th, and will be followed by openings in New York (AMC Empire), New Jersey (AMC Ridgefield Park 12), San Jose (AMC Cupertino 16), and Atlanta (AMC Colonial 18) on Friday, June 24th.

 I was interested in watching this movie for some time.  I got a chance to view it this past week.  It is a movie for adults because so much of what happens is in the expressions on the faces and not so much the dialogue.  It's in the actions of the characters that the story is revealed.  It's a dark movie and may require another viewing to get all the details.  I liked it.  Hyun Bin and Tang Wei were very believable.  I'm so use to watching dramas that when the movie ended I was surprised.  

Tang Wei is an actress I've never seen before.  She is a very good actress and so beautiful. 

There's a scene where she buys modern clothing, with lipstick and some earrings. Watching her put the earrings into holes that had long since closed up was painful because I have done that before. Also when she went into the restroom soon after and changed back into her regular clothes and left them there, boy that was sad. You could see on her face the desire to want to return to her non prison life.

I like Hyun Bin and he did a credible job with his english.  He is one handsome man.  

If you like thinking, dark movies you should give this a watch.
