'Cobweb' Song Kang-ho and Lim Soo-jung attend Cannes Film Festival

The movie 'Cobweb' (directed by Ji-woon Kim) has been invited to the non-competitive section of the 76th Cannes International Film Festival, and an official press conference will be held in Cannes following the official screening.

According to distributor Barunson E&A on the 9th, the main characters of 'Cobweb' - director Kim Ji-woon, Song Kang-ho, Lim Soo-jeong, Oh Jeong-se, Jeon Yeo-bin, Jeong Su-jeong, Jang Young-nam and Park Jeong-soo - have confirmed their attendance at the Cannes International Film Festival. They will participate in the official screening and red carpet event held at the Lumiere Grand Theater on the 25th at 10:30 pm (local time). Next, he plans to attend a press conference on the 26th to shine.

'Cobweb' is even more meaningful in that it is director Kim Ji-woon's third film, Song Kang-ho's eighth film, and the second film together to be invited to Cannes. Here, Lim Soo-jeong, who was invited to the Cannes Film Festival for the first time, Oh Jeong-se, Jeon Yeo-bin, Jeong Su-jeong, Jang Young-nam, and Park Jeong-su. The main characters of 'Cobweb' have a variety of schedules, including the official event of the Cannes International Film Festival.

The overseas poster released to commemorate the invitation to the official non-competitive section of the 76th Cannes International Film Festival stands out with an illustration that looks like a spider web hanging over the back of director Kim (played by Song Kang-ho) sitting in the director's chair. After a successful debut film, director Kim, who was labeled as an expert in political dramas, decided to re-film the film 'Cobweb', which had already been filmed, under the tenacity that if he changed the ending, a masterpiece would be created.

Director Kim's back in the poster raises curiosity as to whether he will be able to successfully complete filming and create the masterpiece he longed for despite all the adverse conditions that will befall him.

'Cobweb' takes place in the 1970s, when director Kim believes that if he just re-films the ending of the movie 'Cobweb', it will become a masterpiece, and pushes for filming under adverse conditions that are on the verge of going crazy, including censorship and actors and producers who do not understand the changed content. A movie that depicts events. After being first released at the Cannes International Film Festival, it will be released domestically this year.
