Squid Game star and veteran actor of films such as Im Sang-soo’s Cannes title The Housemaid (2010), Lee returns to the Croisette - with his directing debut in Midnight Screenings. CJ ENM is backing and distributing, with the film set for local release in June. His Korean- and Chinese-language film stars Park Hae-il ( The Host) and Tang Wei ( Lust, Caution) in the story of a detective who suspects but is attracted to a mysterious woman while investigating her husband’s death. Having won the Cannes 2004 grand prize with Oldboy and the 2009 jury prize with Thirst, Korean filmmaker Park is returning to the festival for the first time since The Handmaidenscreened in Competition in 2016. Produced by Seoul-based Zip Cinema and backed and distributed by leading Korean studio CJ ENM, the film is set for June release in Korea. The film stars Song Kang-ho, Gang Dong-won, Lee Ji-eun, Doona Bae and Lee Joo-young. He wrote and directed this story about two men who have taken a child from a ‘baby box’ (where parents can leave infants they are unable to raise) as well as a regretful mother and two police detectives. Japanese filmmaker Kore-eda, who won the Palme d’Or with Shoplifters in 2018, brings his first Korean-language film to Competition.
