If Korean cinema is currently on the rise, it is certainly due in part to the talent of Kim Jee-woon, a former actor who moved to directing in 1998 with The Quiet Family.
It was a few years later that he signed 2 Sisters (2003), a chilling horror film, then two years later, A Bittersweet Life presented in the official Cannes selection, in 2005. These two films will arrive on the 10 April in 4K in order to complete the director's cycle at the publisher (It's Shooting in Seoul and Foul King have already been released on Blu-Ray).
