Paranmanjang (Night Fishing) Teaser
I know I’m risking retribution from El Vez by beating him to the punch on this one, but news this good can’t wait around. You may have been aware of murmurings that South-Korean director Park Chan-wook had shot a 30 minute fantasy film on an iPhone 4. Despite his unquestionable filmmaking skill you may have [...]
