We chat with DecisionToLeave cinematographer Kim Ji Yong about capturing the haunting layers of director Park Chan Wook's latest romantic thriller:
From Oldboy to The Handmaiden, director Park Chan-wook has been responsible for many of the most famous Korean films of the last quarter century. His latest masterpiece, Decision to Leave, is a star-crossed romance wrapped in all the trappings of a detective mystery. Starring Park Hae-il and Tang Wei , the story follows Hae-joon, a detective who works in the bustling city of Busan while his wife lives in the much smaller and more fictional town of Ipo.
How do you approach those locations? We have one set of scenes in Busan, and then Ipo is a very different world. Is there a different approach to the camera in those scenes? Some directors are like that, but Park Chan-wook is an especially strong planner. He's someone who has to be prepared before he goes to set, and it was good because he gave me all the information and every intention he had for the scene. All we did on set was just what we had already planned, because we already talked a lot before we started shooting.
Park Hae-il and Tang Wei do so much work without dialogue or understanding each other's dialogue. Are there moments you picked out to showcase their relationship from different angles?

Grand Canyon park changes campground name that haunted tribeFor years, the Indian Garden name assigned to a popular Grand Canyon campground has been a painful reminder for a Native American tribe that was displaced by the national park. The Havasupai Tribe and Grand Canyon National Park announced Monday that Indian Garden will be renamed Havasupai Gardens. The U.S. Board on Geographic Names gave unanimous approval this month to the request from the National Park Service on behalf of the tribe, known internationally for the towering blue-green waterfalls on its reservation.
