<Anchor> The



Cannes Film Festival in France, one of the world's top three film festivals, is booming with Korean films.

Two out of five films invited this year entered the competition, and the status of Korean films in the country has changed significantly.

Yesterday (24th), director Chan-wook Park's new movie was released, and our reporter is out at the film festival site.



Reporter Kwak Sang-eun and director Park Chan-wook's new work are getting a hot response?



<Reporter>



Yes, I am standing right now on the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival.



The new film directed by Park Chan-wook also met the audience for the first time here.



Let's watch the scene together from the video.



Director Park walked the red carpet with the two main characters of the new movie.



As director Park, this is the 4th Cannes Film Festival entry into the competition.



[Tang Wei / 'Decision to break up' main actor: I'm so glad I came to Cannes.

I hope the whole world can see this movie.]



The movie 'Decision to break up' depicts the subtle change of feelings between a detective who investigates a murder case and the wife of the deceased.



With favorable reviews as 'magical directing', the copyright has already been sold to 192 countries.



[Marian Bobek / Iranian reporter: It is a different and special film.

I think it will be well-received by the judges.]

It's been 5 years since I went back to the Cannes Film Festival, and the atmosphere has changed a bit in the meantime.



In the past, there was limited interest in some great Korean directors, but now the interest has expanded to Korean films as a whole.



Director Park Chan-wook, who has been officially invited to Cannes five times over the past 20 years, including the judges, even earned the nickname 'Cannes Park', says he realizes that his interest in Korean films has increased even more.



[Park Chan-wook / 'Decision to break up' Director: It's a 'feeling of anger' that can't be said.

It's an era where Korean films are of interest.]



In principle, films invited to Cannes should be unreleased films, but I also introduced the reason why 'Oldboy', which was released in Korea one year earlier, was invited to Cannes in 2004 and was able to receive the Grand Jury Prize. .



[Park Chan-wook / 'Decision to break up' Director: At that time, Korea was a marginal country, in the film industry.

That's why I don't call it 'Premier' (first screening).]



We have 5 films in total at Cannes this year.



[Ron Fogal/Israel Critic: K (Korea) wave is



rising in Cannes due to the worldwide box office success of the film 'Parasite' and the drama 'Squid Game', which even won the Academy Award]

The movie 'The Broker' will be released here for the first time.
