Part of the Un Certain Regard line-up at the 64th Cannes Film Festival next month is Na Hong-jin‘s crime thriller The Yellow Sea. He re-teams with the stars of his 2008 break-out debut The Chaser, Yun-seok Kim and Jung-woo Ha, for this film. Twitch has uncovered an English-subtitled trailer, which you can check out below. The trailer itself is a bit sloppy, but it looks like an engaging drama. Let us know what you think in the comments.
Synopsis:
On the Chinese side of the China-Russia-North Korea border, there is a region called Yanbian, Korean Autonomous Prefecture. This film tells the story of a man from this region, who embarks on an assassination mission to South Korea in order to pay off his mounting debts. He is only given $500 in advance and takes the job without knowing much about his target. However, before long a series of conspiracies and betrayals bring him to the realization that he has been tricked into entering a dangerous trap.
Cannes Film Festival 2011 runs May 11th to May 22nd.
