These Stars Are on the Rise

movie

In this South Korean omnibus film, four filmmakers - with particular but surprisingly cohesive approaches - introduce us to cinematic universes commanded by the presence of killers executing (or failing to execute) their jobs. From the slightly supernatural to true stories inspired by actual events, our four directors introduce us to their cinematic universes bound by the presence of nighthawks and killers. Dark humor, weapons and blood are part of the deal. "Metamorphosis" by Kim Jong-kwan weaves a revision of a revered horror figure, seductive and terrifying, in an alluring but suspiciously empty bar at night. Inspired by a real-life case, Roh Deok's "Contractors" brings surprising reversals when the chain of hired killers becomes a ring too long. A moody piece set in the 1970s, "Everyone Is Waiting for the Man" by Chang Han-jun rounds up a group of strangers who after-hours look for a mysterious killer with a tattoo of a narcissus. "Silent Cinema" by Lee Myung-se unleashes a stylish series of bizarre events when diner employees are surprised by three gangsters.
