As one of the most anticipated films of the year, Peppermint Candy, the second feature from acclaimed director Lee Chang dong, was chosen to be the opening film of the 1. Pusan International Film Festival. Some people viewed this as a coming of age both for Lee, the novelist turned director whose debut feature Green Fish 1. Vancouver International Film Festival and for Korean cinema in general, since this was the first time in PIFFs four year history that a domestic film was chosen for this honor. The festival opened with fireworks, speeches, and a bit of rain, and when the film began to roll it clashed somewhat with the festive atmosphere. Peppermint Candy is the personal history of a man whose troubled experiences leave him greatly disturbed. The film asks of its viewers a fair amount of concentration and emotional energy some scenes are upsetting, while others give us mere hints of beauty the undeveloped potential that lies dormant within our hero. The narrative structure of Peppermint Candy shares much in common with an early Jane Campion film, Two Friends, in that we first witness a tragedy, and then progress backwards in time to learn the events which led up to it. The film contains seven episodes from our heros life, each of which reveal him in a different stage of development. These segments are linked by a series of shots taken from the back of a train, as if to suggest that the train itself leads us back into his past. Many of the episodes in our heros life echo the contemporary history of Korea serving in the military, torturing political dissidents as a policeman, and losing money in a failed business venture. These symbolic events mingle with the personal aspects of his life an early love affair, which continues to haunt him years later, and his subsequent failed marriage. Ultimately the main character remains out of our grasp. Lee denies us any easy explanations for our heros character, or excuses for his behavior. The film frustrated me as I was watching it for the first time I wanted greater access to the heros feelings. Nonetheless, I felt shattered upon reaching the end of the film, and it has beckoned me back for a second viewing. Darcy Paquet    Lies. On January 8, 2. 00. Jang Sun woo finally reached the theaters. With a scalped ticket in hand, I pushed my way past the crowds and TV cameras into Dansungsa Theater to find my seat. When the film began to roll, the mark left by the censor was clear a couple scenes were screened without sound, leaving an eerie silence in the theater the naughty bits had all been blurred and other scenes had been completely removed, including a particularly lewd conversation about sex between two high school girls and a scene involving coprophilia look it up in the dictionary. In all, five minutes of footage had been removed from the 1. The film itself left many disappointed. Jang has established such a high standard in his works of the past decade that this rather simple tale of a sado masochistic affair left some of his fans perplexed. Some of Jangs old themes are revisited in this work, namely the complex and at times savage power relations between men and women cf. The Lovers of Woomook baemi, or the writer and his lover in To You, From Me, but on the whole it seemed to devote more energy to pushing buttons, setting up scenes that were certain to shock and infuriate conservative viewers. Much can be read into the films title. Jang originally intended to use the title of the novel on which the film is based, Lie to Me, which places us inside the narrative, but later he shortened it to just Lies, which can more easily be directed at society in general. Jang has long ridiculed the hypocrisy of Korean society, whose outwardly conservative sexual mores mask a thriving sex industry and widespread exploitation of minors. This double standard has ironically has been reflected in the films reception. The sex we see in Lies does not feel in any way enticing the protagonists are left seeming pathetic by the end of the film, and few viewers are likely to go scavenging for sticks after leaving the theater.
