Bilgi :It took 6 long years for Yeo Gyun Dong to make his comeback as a director. Responsible for what's still one of the best road movies in Korean Cinema history, 1994's Out To The World, Yeo also starred in controversial films like Jang Sun Woo's To You From Me and romcoms like Love Bakery. Silk Shoes shares something in common with Out To The World, because of its deep road movie roots and the low key atmosphere.
Shot on a shoestring budget of 300 million won, Silk Shoes tells the story of Man-Soo, one of the many film directors struggling with the system. His films barely register a blip at the box office, but he turns out to be good enough for a group of thugs, who employ him as the director of his first real-life blockbuster. His mission? Create a realistic North Korea for the boss' senile father, to allow him to go home one last time. And then the problems begin, because as Super Family showed, trying to recreate how the neighbors up North live can be a little problematic, especially if you live in the South.
