unlabelledView post →Day 1 #BIFF2026 news sadly ties in with #BannedBooksWeek. Actor Lee Min-Ho's guest visit was canceled because angry activists made violent threats as part of their campaign to ban his latest movie The Assassin(s). It's about an investigation that doesn't make the conservative party look great.

unlabelledView post →What is The Assassin(s) controversy about? The film, directed by #HurJinho, dramatizes the 1974 shooting of Yuk Young-soo, wife of then-president Park Chung-hee. The established account is that Korean-Japanese resident Mun Se-gwang attempted to assassinate Park but accidentally shot and killed Yuk.

unlabelledView post →I Watched: The Assassin (2015) A contemplative art movie disguised as a wuxia martial arts flick. There are a couple action scenes, where director Hou Hsiao-Hsien demonstrates he is perfectly capable of doing them, but he is more interested in silence and stillness. So...keep that in mind. #Filmsky

unlabelledView post →Six is just such a simple show (only 6 women and a band and minimal set), but the costumes, songs, and acting just really nail it. I thought it was better than Hadestown personally. I'm so torn on The Assassin because it was SO WELL DONE, but I think just not a movie for me.
