Almost missed among all that was a quiet film directed by a virtual unknown but starring the talented Jo Seung-woo.The media found it interesting as 'a story of human triumph' but most people seemed certain that Kang Woo-suk's feature would dominate the box office.One hopes that it will be liberated from the other two segments of 1.3.6. At 70 minutes, it is a perfectly respectable length for a stand-alone feature film, and this is a movie that deserves to travel.
In Flower Island, Song showed an unusual talent for the aesthetics of digital cinema, but here he takes it one step further.Comprising works by Jang Jin (Someone Special), Lee Young-jae (Harmonium in My Memory) and Song, 1.3.6 was intended to explore environmental themes and was slotted to open the first Green Film Festival in Seoul in late October.Alas, the festival's expectations were confounded, first in that only Lee Young-jae's work really engaged environmental issues in a direct way (the other two were merely set in rural areas), and second by the fact that Song went out and shot a 70-minute film.That all changed however, after Marathon had its press screening.It was reported immediately after in numerous newspapers that the journalists in attendance applauded long and hard following the press screening and that most of them were in tears.A peacock appears on the island, with no clear explanation or motivation.And the tango, a very un-Korean pasttime, makes a striking appearance in the film.The controversy of The President's Last Bang was being played out in the courtrooms and in the entertainment news.The collapse of the Pi Fan Film Festival was a hot topic and the hype surrounding the impending release of Another Public Enemy was overwhelming.To capture a natural setting so well on a medium that often feels cold and sterile is an unusual accomplishment.The relaxed, convincing performances of the actors also deserve notice.
