Director E J-yong�s latest tantalizing feature, a semi-fictional drama starring 6 of Korea's best-known actresses, is to screen in the Panorama section of the 60th Berlin International Film Festival (Feb 11-21), according to a press release by the film's distributor Showbox Mediaplex.
Aptly titled Actresses, the film stars YOON Yeo-jeong, LEE Mi-sook, KO Hyun-joung, CHOI Ji-woo, KIM Ok-vin, and KIM Min-hee as themselves, meeting on Christmas Eve for a multi-generational fashion spread for Vogue magazine. The film was co-scripted by the cast, who appear to confess their anxieties and ambitions during the photo shoot.
The film had its local release Dec 10. It is the director's 5th feature, following the spicy teen romp Dasepo Naughty Girls (2006) and the elegantly depraved Untold Scandal (2003).
Actresses is the second Korean film to receive an official invitation to Berlin this year, following SO Sang-min's debut I'm in Trouble, which was officially invited to the Forum section after winning the Pusan Int'l Film Festival's New Currents award.
