Director Lee Chung-hyun: "A Film with Unpredictable Power"
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Bong-ju] On the 27th, interest surged as the movie 'Call' was released on Netflix.
'Call' is a mystery thriller depicting Seo-yeon (Park Shin-hye), a woman living in the present year 2019, and Young-sook (Jeon Jong-seo), a woman living in the past year 1999, who connect through a phone call and change each other's fate.
In the movie, the two women deliver solid tension through a breath-taking confrontation.
The production team used sharply contrasting colors to maximize the emotional lines of the two people in intense opposition.
Seo-yeon's despair, threatened by the past and present due to a taboo-breaking choice, is expressed in blue, while Young-sook's anger and violence, with her hidden madness exploding, are depicted in red.
One of the strongest points of interest in this film is the acting skills of the four actors who firmly built up the suspense of the story.
Not only Seo-yeon and Young-sook, but also Seo-yeon's mother and Young-sook's mother, who face changed fates due to the dangerous choices of the two women, were perfectly portrayed by the four actors as if wearing tailored clothes, enhancing the completeness of the story.
Director Lee Chung-hyun expressed confidence, calling it "a movie with unpredictable power."
As soon as the movie was released that day, netizens who watched it gave generally positive reviews such as "It's insanely scary," "The actors' performances were the best. The directing and story too," and "The immersion was top-notch. It's a regret not to have seen it in a theater."
