After a couple of years under the pandemic’s grasp, the esteemed Cannes Film Festival is set to return to the world stage with its signature May event. Running for about 2 weeks from May 17 to May 28, the spotlight is once again on the Korean entertainment industry that has caught the critics’ attention.
This time 2 Korean language movies will be competing for the revered Palme d’Or at the 75th Cannes Film Festival for the Competition category, ‘Broker’ and ‘Decision to Leave’. Both the movies are set to hit the theatres on May 6.
The earlier series stars IU, Song Kang Ho, Kang Dong Won, Bae Doona as well as Lee Joo Young and is about a service that places baby boxes for people to anonymously give up on taking care of their offspring. ‘Broker’ boasts director Koreeda Hirokazu who has previously grabbed the win a couple times, making this his sixth entry.
