Jeon Do-yeon and Kim Nam-gil's 'Rouge' to be released in May

Movie, "Rouge" starring the A-list actor and actress, Jeon Do-yeon and Kim Nam-gil will be revealed in May finally.

Sanai Pictures has confirmed on April 14th, "Rouge" will be released in May. "Rouge" is a movie depicting the inevitable emotions between a man, a detective, who is hiding truth, and a woman, who wants to believe although it is a lie.

Jeon Do-yeon and Kim Nam-gil paired up as a woman of a murderer and a cold-hearted detective.

Jeon Do-yeon plays Kim Hye-gyeong, a hostess working for a bar, who has been waiting for her lover, since he ran away after killing a person. Kim Nam-gil plays Jeong Jaegon, a detective, who chases after the murderer, who used to be Hye-gyeong's lover.

Jeon Do-yeon portrays the co-existence of distress and decadence as well as purity and courage through the three dimensional character.

Kim Nam-gil is literally a "Rouge", who is a cold-hearted macho, which is contrary to his usual image from his previous filmography.

Director Oh Seung-wook, who wrote the screenplay of 'Christmas in August ' and directed 'Kilimanjaro' led the creation of the film.

Kim Nam-gil, "Because of Jeon Do-yeon"

Actor Kim Nam-gil is coming back as a cold-hearted detective in the movie "The Shameless".

With the 68th Cannes Film Festival coming up, Kim Nam-gil took off the soft-hearted man look and became an outlaw.

"The Shameless" is a movie about a detective and a murderer's girlfriend. Kim Nam-gil plays Jeong Jae-gon, a detective who falls for the murderer's woman.

Cold-hearted Jeong Jae-gon does everything in his power to get his criminals and this time, disguises into a bar to catch Park Joon-gil. There, he approaches the enemy's woman Hye-kyeong. He develops feelings for her and slowly his conviction weakens.

Kim Nam-gil has been in movies and dramas for 10 years. He uses his soft looks to become a hurtful and honest character. Last year, he was in "Pirates" as a manly and comical character which helped to draw in 8 million audiences.

About choosing "The Shameless", Kim Nam-gil said, "I like the reality of bringing up emotions from the ground far below. I also liked the fact that it was directed by Oh Seung-wook who I am a fan of and beautiful actress Jeon Do-yeon".

Director Oh Seung-wook said, "People usually think about tough detectives but I wished Jae-gon was dandy.Kim Nam-gil is both dandy and manly but also sensitive. I love that about him and he's perfect for Jeong Jae-gon.

"The Shameless" is an emotional movie about a detective who hides the truth and a criminal's woman who wants to believe even the lies.

Kim Nam-gil and Jeon Do-yeon get dangerously close in The Shameless



This might be a movie that I check out for the acting performances, though it’ll have to be a dark and gloomy kind of day to get me in the mood. Jeon Do-yeon (The Way Home, Countdown) and Kim Nam-gil (Pirates, Shark) pair up for the “hardboiled melo” The Shameless, about a detective who goes undercover to get close to a killer’s girlfriend and ends up falling for her.

Jeon Do-yeon and Kim Nam-gil's 'The Shameless' unveils artistic still images

 

Jeon Do-yeon and Kim Nam-gil's "The Shameless" will hold a special photo exhibition.

As one of the official selections invited to the sidebar "Un Certain Regard" competition of the 68th Cannes Film Festival, "The Shameless" has been garnering attention.

"The Shameless" now will hold a special photo exhibition from May 12th to June 7th at several movie theaters including CGV Yongsang, CGV Yeongdeongpo, and Busan cgv centum city.

This exhibition is comprised of three different themes: 'Detective and Murderer's woman – Encounter, Shaken, Inevitable'. The visitors will be able to appreciate the various sides of the man and woman in the movie, Jeong Jae-gon (Kim Nam-gil) and Kim Hye-kyeong(Jeon Do-yeon).

First theme "Encounter" presents the tricky trembling moments portraying the tense encounter between detective Jeong Jae-gon, who is disguised as a manager of a bar, and Kim Hye-kyeong, who feels suspicious about him.

Second theme, 'Shaken' captured the dangerous moments of the two, who are drawn to each other without their knowing it is love.

Third theme, 'Inevitable' delivers the moments of their rough love between Jae-gon and Hye-gyeong and the critical moments that will make you wonder how it will conclude after all. The visitors will be able to appreciate the sentiments and cinematography in advance before the movie is released.

Along with the exhibition, a special event will present a movie ticket to the people who leave a message to 'The shameless who have hurt me' on CGV official website.

"The Shameless" will be released on May 27th.

Cannes 2015 Review: THE SHAMELESS Delivers Hardboiled Melodrama With Top Drawer Performances

"Learn the rules like a pro, so you can break them like an artist."

-Pablo Picasso

Today's Korea, whether looking at its entertainment, fashion or culinary scenes, is a society awash with fusion. Nowhere is this more true than in its cinema, as since the late 90s Korean filmmakers have never shied away from playing with genre. Many artists and artisans would do well to take note of the above quote by Picasso (though I imagine he wasn't the first to say it) before dishing out cookie crust shrimp and potato pizzas or dumping a motley crew of genre fare into a blender and calling it a script. However, while these hybrid experiments have frequently backfired, a surprising amount have been successful, including modern classics like Bong Joon-ho's The Host (2006) and Jang Joon-hwan's Save the Green Planet (2003).

Following a long 15-year absence from the director's chair (though he has been active in other capacities during that time), scribe Oh Seung-uk returns with his own mashup, which has been described by its distributor as a 'hardboiled melodrama'. The Shameless is an investigative thriller, a moody noir, a brooding romance, a dark drama and an arthouse film all rolled into one. It may not be entirely successful in some areas but there's no denying that its blend of genres is seamless and sophisticated.

Det. Jung is assigned to a murder case with a clear culprit. Since the assailant is on the run, he approaches his lover Hye-kyung, a madam at a seedy room salon who has accrued a mountain of debt. Leaning on some low-level thugs, Jung goes undercover as the head of security at Hye-kung's bar, pretending to be her lover's old jailmate.

Featuring none other than Park Chan-wook as a 'creative producer', The Shameless quickly establishes its stylistic credentials with a vista on a construction site for a clump of residential towers which pans down to Det. Jung and follows him through back alleys in the cold pre-dawn light. Accompanied by Cho Young-wuk's mournful yet vibrant score, it adds up to an impressive opening scene that foreshadows the film's deliberate pacing and gloomy style.

After penning Green Fish (1997) and Christmas in August (1998), Oh Seung-uk debuted as a director with the terrific, philosophical gangster noir Kilimanjaro (2000), which sadly never received the attention it deserved. His strength as a dialogue writer comes through clearly in The Shameless but where the film falls short is its lethargic pacing. Oh's sophomore work lacks the narrative drive to keep it from seeming aloof and his fixation on crafting a cool atmosphere ultimately undermines what is otherwise an effective portrait of malaise in a post-development yet soulless Seoul.

As one would expect, Jung and Hye-kyung draw closer throughout the film but aside from that and the murderer manhunt, there isn't much more to the story. Oh puts onus squarely on the shoulders of his leads, critical darling Jeon Do-yeon and heartthrob Kim Nam-gil, and to a lesser extent the gravelly Park Sung-woong and blustery Gwak Do-won.

Already a Cannes prize winner for Secret Sunshine (2007), Jeon Do-yeon returns to the Croisette, playing another complex and desperate character. Tellingly, save for a pair of one-line parts, she is the only woman in a narrative. Hardened, yet vulnerable, she struggles to hold her own in a fiercely patriarchal environment. Her lover gambles with her money, Jung gets close to track down his target, loan sharks threaten her with sexual violence. Jeon is magnetic on screen as she plays Hye-kyung as a woman of many faces: flashing big smiles for clients, eating alone with a hollow stare pouring into an empty soju glass, or melting into her lover's embrace, seeking the most fleeting of comforts in her dark worlds.

Receiving more screen time, but exhibiting far less nuance, is Kim Nam-gil, a popular TV actor who headlined the swashbuckler The Pirates last year. He proves a very capable lead in a role that pushes him to delve deeper than he has before, yet falls short of completely owning the character. Jung's trajectory is a difficult one and might have benefited from a softer touch. Kim plays it cool throughout but no amount of moody cigarette smoking can add up to character development.

As the lover, Park Sung-woong (also at Cannes with Office), a craggy-faced beast of a man seemingly carved out of rock, nails the tone of his character. His piercing gaze, coupled with his measured physicality, are enough to bring him to life, and it's no surprise that he commands two of the film's standout scenes. In an all too brief appearance, Gwak Do-won, an award-winner for The Attorney(2013), is ace as Det. Jung's repulsive colleague.

As already mentioned, the legendary Cho Young-wuk's music adds a lot to some key scenes. Reminiscent of his work with Park Chan-wook, his score ebbs and flows, pulsates and adds a sardonic touch with a hint of gypsy-style accordions. Meanwhile, Kang Kuk-hyun's cinematography pays a lot of attention to detail and remains surprisingly colorful despite the constant darkness. Also impressive is the framing and the camera's subtle movements. In one terrific closeup, a man falls down, revealing another behind him, who subsequently drops to his knees, once more uncovering a character sitting in a car further behind, as the camera pushes in.

Ultimately, it feels as though something is missing, but with another terrific performance from Jeon, some bristling dialogue and a frequently engrossing aesthetic, The Shameless is a solid follow-up from Oh.
