Synopsis
The Chosen One implies the style of Expressionism, not only adopts its essence, but explores to the depth of Expressionism. As obvious as in its mise-en-scene and characterization, such an implication becomes more noticeable as to how it combines one space to another. At the beginning part of the movie, a maid, Ally, goes across woods and her lord, Nephrym, appears by turns with Ally. Nephrym orders Ally to go to a witch and find out from witch who's the chosen one to bear a successor. The black-and-white colored expressionism movie stes off the current movie scene where a bunch of colorful modern films are crowded with. The Chosen One, outshines not only because of its rarity, but because it is faithful to its tradition and shows a potentiality to complete the tradition. To present the matter of consciousness through the cross of spaces, must be one of the remarkable possibilities that we can find in the movie. (PARK Ji-Yeon)
