Korean Fantastic: Competition

The Game of Life

YANG Jaeho

Korea2019 118min Color World Premiere

Synopsis

Hoo-jung’s wife goes to New Zealand while he continues working at home as a teacher. However, he soon receives the tragic news that she has passed away. Intriguingly, his wife sent him a movie script before her passing which will lead Hoo-jung into some unexpected events.

Program Note

If you were offered the chance of different life, what choice would you make? Based on the board game of the same name, The Game of Life follows a man who has earned different life, and also his old friend, switching between reality and fantasy. With nods to Back to the Future (1985), A Better Tomorrow (1986) and Roman Holiday (1954), The Game of Life will doubtless please and inspire cinephiles. (MO Eun-young)
