Cobweb (2023)
More actions

Kim Jee-woon directed this South Korean black comedy-drama (Korean: 거미집), set in the film industry of 1970s South Korea. Director Kim Yeol (Song Kang-ho), whose acclaimed debut has given way to critically dismissed melodramas, becomes convinced after a vivid dream that reshooting the ending of his just-completed film Cobweb will turn it into a masterpiece. Defying a script rejected by state censors, a dismantled set, and a cast and crew who have already moved on, he mounts an unauthorized reshoot bankrolled by Mi-do (Jeon Yeo-been), the production company heir who is drawn to the new ending's strangeness, while the shoot collapses into escalating chaos. The film premiered out of competition at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and opened in South Korea that September. (Wikipedia)
