About If You Were Me
Anthology film of six shorts by leading Korean directors. Park Chan-Wook, tackles racial prejudice and the economic exploitation of immigrant workers through the real-life story of a Nepalese woman in Korea. Jeong Jae-Eun, tackles the plight of a paedophile released into the community. Yeo Gyun-Dong, invites disabled actor Kim Moon-Joo to re-enact his most famous protest. Im Soon-Rye, goes for the engrained sexism of Korean men with superb wit and, Park Jin-Pyo, confronts the horror of children forced into oral surgery to improve their English-speaking ability.
Directed by Yim Soon-rye, Jeong Jae-eun, Park Kwang-su, Park Chan-wook, Yeo Kyun-dong, Park Jin-pyo, If You Were Me leans on a strong ensemble — Jo Sun-kyung, Lee Seol-hee, Kil Hae-yeon — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
