About This DVD
Parties with hundreds of guests and foreign press, banner ads all over the
Internet even when the film is still in production, bus and magazine ads for
weeks, TV appearances and dozens of trailers. Those are normal marketing ploys
in today's Chungmuro, but Kim Tae Kyung's The Puzzle decided to do things a
little differently: it started and completed shooting without a single word
written about it, no mention on TV or elsewhere. It certainly wasn't for lack of
star power, as the crime thriller features Ju Jin Mo (Fashion Seventies), Moon
Sung Keun (Princess Aurora, Hanbando), and famous TV personality Hong Seok Cheon.
But after controversies over the increasingly powerful influence of marketing on
a film's performance (or lack thereof), they decided to let the film speak for
itself.
Hwan, Ryu, Noh, Jung and Gyu. Five people, no connections or previous knowledge
of each other. The mysterious X asks these five people to steal an important
document inside a bank, the reward too appealing to refuse despite the difficult
mission. But beyond everything they have to go through, who is this X,
orchestrating the pieces of this puzzle like a puppet master? The debut film of
short film director Kim Tae Kyung, The Puzzle is not only interesting for its
innovative marketing strategy, but earns points for the originality of its plot
and its style itself, and is a worthy competitor for films of the genre released
with much more fanfare.
