And apparently, it’s the 2nd biggest ‘adult’ opening which, while at first you might think it is a given with Park Chan-Wook as the director, let’s not forget that this is a gay movie first and foremost. That changes the conversation. But anyway, leaving numbers on the side, I am writing about this to share a nice little interview with Kim Min-Hee I found. Excerpt…

Original Source –> HERE. Translated hancinema Source –> HERE.
A little explanation to those that might be wondering…Hideko is Maud’s character in this movie (played by Kim Min-Hee) and Sook-hee, well, self-explanatory that is Suky Tawdry, AKA Susan Trinder MKA Sue (played by Kim Tae-Ri) – the central main character in Fingersmith!
BUT anyway, how about that answer though >.< And if we are going by the book, their fate was not set from their first meeting, it was set just before their birth! Their love was born with them. Truly, the greatest love story as far as I am concerned!
Man, I love this movie so damn much before I have even watched it! I swear if I was aware of this movie a little earlier, I would be in Korea right now, just to see this movie! wouldn’t even care that I could not understand a word, well, except Ahgassi!!
Please Ireland, please be awesome and be one of the 172 countries (A record at Cannes for a Korean movie by the way) that bought the rights to show this movie in their cinemas! Otherwise I am going to have to fly somewhere just to see it. France is October, UK is probably a bit earlier, if they are showing it.
Okay, that is a lot of IFs. Time to cut down on some and do some digging as to which countries are showing this. Then it’s off to Holiday planning! have you ever planned a holiday around a movie? Well I have, twice this year! This is the second. The first is obvious! Speaking of the obvious, dat ultimate cut trailer tho >.<

hello im a korean fan of this movie and felt like sharing some info with u 😀 yes there will be blue ray! it will be 3hrs and 3 mins long! \o/ release date not announced yet. Also i read here http://www.instiz.net/pt/3830431 that in this interview during the ‘bed scenes/sex scenes’ PCW made all the staff leave the set and only the camera director remained and they filmed with a remote control camera. I guess to give them some space so they would feel less uncomfortable 😀 any hoo ive read a lot of korean ppl who say it is very ‘revealing/many sessay times’ PCW made a joke at the movie screening tellin ppl they should bring their parents along to watch it together like a family movie lol. I would say this movie is a hit i think a lot of people know about it and even SNL korea parodied to it haha

Thank you so very much for this lovely info. Thank you thank you >.<
Also, yeah, I read about the remote camera filming of the sex scenes but I wanted the Readers to get that when they read the full review. I for one this fills me with a great happiness. This means that the sex scenes will be that much more emotional because Min-hee and Tae-ri will be natural and themselves, without that extra effort of 'acting' that almost always shows no matter how good the actors are.
Oh man, every little thing I learn about this movie makes me want it more and more.

You’ve got to see it, on the big screen if possible. It’s beautiful. I look forward to the 3 hour version.
