Program Note

Actor Lee Donghwi plays a character named Park Kyungsoo, who is anorexic. Becoming deeply involved in the role, he fasts throughout the shooting and is highly praised by the film crew. Although he endures the suffering well until the last day of shooting, his instinct for food results in the confrontation between Donghwi the person and Donghwi the actor. He tries secretly eating, but it does not work. This satire of method acting, which could be seen as the oversized ego of an actor, is told in a tense yet comic way. The acting of Lee Donghwi, who uses his real name for the character, makes the film seem even more real. (LEE Hwajung)
