Chinese superstar Fan Bingbing delivered an electrifying masterclass to a sold-out ballroom full of screaming fans at Singapore’s Marina Bay Sands on Friday.
The in-conversation event was part of the 34th Singapore International Film Festival where Fan is the recipient of this year’s Cinema Icon Award. The festival is screening three of Fan’s films, curated by her – the recent “Green Night,” “Buddha Mountain” and “Double Xposure” – and the star walked the red carpet on opening night, Nov. 30.
Fan spoke frankly – in Mandarin, which was translated live to English by an interpreter – on a range of topics including an in-depth analysis of Han Shuai’s “Green Night,” which comes to Singapore after Berlin and Busan. In the film, Fan plays a Chinese woman, trapped in an oppressive life with her Korean husband, and sets out on an adventure with a mysterious green-haired girl, played by Lee Joo-young (“Broker...

The success of “Extreme Job” upon its release was a surprise to most, its makers included. The unassuming action comedy, starring Ryu Seung-ryong, Lee Hanee and more, creeped up quietly and based off a strong word of mouth, went on to make history as the most financially successful Korean film of all time and the second most-attended domestic theatrical release ever in the country. On the back of its success, its director Lee Byeong-heon was able to have financed and produced “Dream”, a project that he had been wanting to make for nearly 10 years before the release of “Extreme Job”.

When we last spoke with Davy Chou, we caught him at the debut of his sophomore film, “Return to Seoul” in Cannes. This time, we speak with him again at a different point of the movie: during its awards tour. Among the many accolades — including recognition at Cannes Un Certain Regard, Asia Pacific Screen Awards, Los Angeles Film Critics Association awards, and more — “Return to Seoul” also represented Cambodia’s shortlisted bid in the Oscars’ Best International Feature Film.
Though star Park Ji-min, who plays the indomitable Freddie Benoit in the film, could not make it last-minute to our conversation in San Francisco, Chou maintained his composure throughout the interview. He faced our questions headfirst through the Zoom screen. “I’m very grateful, to be honest, for the honors,” he admitted. “For a smaller production, you spend so much time doing it [without knowing how many people will watch the finished film]. There’s a lot of passion,...

Exclusive: Once again, working under the Writers Guild’s restrictive rules for inclusion among nominees for the WGA Awards for Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, several leading Oscar-contending screenplays are Awol on the official WGA ballot sent to eligible voting members Monday morning.
This is an annual occurrence as, unlike other guild competitions including DGA, SAG and PGA, the WGA remains firm in its golden rule of eligibility for its top film honors: The movie must have been written under the WGA Mba or under a bona fide collective bargaining agreement of various international WGA-affiliated organizations.
Thus such hot Oscar and BAFTA prospects as Martin McDonagh’s The Banshees of Inisherin, Cannes Palme d’Or winner Ruben Östlund’s Triangle of Sadness and many more did not even make the starting gate for WGA.
In the Original Screenplay category, BAFTA just last week longlisted Banshees and Triangle of Sadness...

Following The Film Stage’s collective top 50 films of 2022, as part of our year-end coverage, our contributors are sharing their personal top 10 lists.
2022 has been one of those fascinating years where in the gauntlet of catching up on all of the lauded awards players that have been racking up the most placements on Best of Year lists, I’ve oddly been finding myself at quite a distance from the large majority of them. I won’t bemoan any specific titles (you can probably guess some of them from their lack of appearance here), but there’s been an odd feeling of disconnect for me with the ones people are talking about the most, the ones that will be vaunted on awards stages in the coming months.
Rather than seeing this as a symbol of me being “out of touch” or having crossed over into some Armond White contrarian territory, however,...

Among the most difficult tasks a film could possibly tackle, surely “making the audience fall in love with the people who sell babies for cash” would have to be somewhere near the top of the list. It’s easy to feel the ice dripping down the audience’s collective back throughout the early minutes of South Korean film Broker, determined in our collective judgment against these guys. Even as the characters get in the odd joke, Japanese writer-director-editor Hirokazu Kore-eda’s script never lets us forget who and what these people are.
But Kore-eda is a sorcerer of human emotion. Through tender, attentive observation and a fair dose of sentimentality, Broker’s protagonists become the bedrock of a strange little family, an odd band of misfits we root for, even as a sense of dread tugs at the heart. A forlorn story injected with so much love and far more comedy than one might expect,...

Be My Little Baby: Kore-eda Gets Weepy with Sentimental Adoption Drama
Hirokazu Kore-eda, Japan’s esteemed purveyor of domestic melancholy, continues with his bid for patron saint of children and families with Broker, the director’s first film in South Korea. It turns out his unwavering formula remains the same, but with a heightened sense of schmaltz in this familiar gesture on the power of chosen family networks as the only way to conquer the apathy of a continuously alienating world. Although not without its finely wrought moments of human connection, it’s also one of Kore-eda’s more laborious efforts to date, settling in on a dramatic scenario and then overly complicating it with characters eventually diminished for the convenience of a trite finale.…...

"Let's never forget today." Neon in the US has revealed their own official US trailer for the film Broker, the latest film from acclaimed Japanese filmmaker Hirokazu Kore-eda. This premiered at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival, then it later screened at the Telluride, Toronto, San Sebastian, Vancouver, and Zurich Film Festivals. This is the first time Kore-eda has made a film in Korea in the Korean language, and it has many connections to Parasite - the film stars Song Kang-Ho (!!) and was shot by cinematographer Kyung-pyo Hong. The film is about a group of Koreans who collect babies left inside of Baby Boxes, and then (illegally) find adoptees for them since the official adoption program is so complex and annoying. The cast features Song Kang-Ho with Gang Dong-Won, Bae Doona, Iu, and Lee Joo-Young. Broker won the Best Actor prize in Cannes for Song Kang-Ho, who deserves every single award on...

Japanese director Hirokazu Kore-eda is famous for his films’ small details, vivid characters and delicate but relatable stories. With Broker, which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in May, he decided to both stick to his strengths and make a change. It is the director’s first Korean-language movie, but it tells another Kore-eda story about social outcasts who come together to form a makeshift family. Broker began years ago; Kore-eda developed the idea for the story at the same time he was writing Shoplifters, which later won Cannes’ Palme d’Or in 2018. He quickly assembled a star-studded cast of Korean actors — Sang Kang-ho, Gang Dong‑won, Bae Doona and Iu — and continued from there.
Last week, Kore-eda, who has just started developing his next project in Japan, attended the Venice Film Festival to receive Ente dello Spettacolo’s Besson Prize, ahead of Broker’s Italy release on Oct.

The 49th annual Telluride Film Festival will host the world premiere screenings of Sarah Polley’s “Women Talking,” Sam Mendes’ “Empire of Light,” and Sebastian Lelio’s “The Wonder” – as well as North American premieres of Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu’s “Bardo,” Luca Guadagnino’s “Bones and All,” Todd Field’s “Tar,” James Gray’s “Armageddon Time,” and Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “Broker” among other top fall titles.
In keeping with the Telluride Film Festival’s famously late-breaking announcement process, the 2022 lineup was revealed on Thursday morning, just one day before the prestigious festival kicks off.
Due to the nuances of how the Toronto International Film Festival positioned some of its debuts as well as the roster of features debuting at the Venice Film Festival this week, industry observers had long expected many of the 2022 titles to screen in the Colorado town. But that doesn’t make the Telluride list any less impressive in its variety.

This, and the realisation that not everyone obeys the rules, to their obvious benefit, leads to appreciation for the anti-hero, or protagonists with their own value systems.
That may help to explain why we have a sneaking admiration — or interest, at least — in fictional characters whose "heroic" credentials are quite vague as to morality, say James Bond, or his equally lethal but less glamorous American counterpart, Donald Hamilton’s Matt Helm.
Or for that matter, those compelled to take the law into their own hands, vigilante style — an entire host, spanning various genres and media, from Don Pendleton’s Mack Bolan, alias the Executioner, to V from "V for Vendetta", to Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) in the "Death Wish" series of films, to Bollywood’s Angry Young Man.
Then, there are those on the other "wrong side" of the law — ‘Godfathers’ Vito and Michael Corleone or other Mafia figures and a number of similar outlaws,...
