Joint Security Area
AroView: A Korean military thriller of high repute that opens with a double-killing on the bitterly tense border between North and South and evolves into an intense investigative melodrama.
A box-office record-breaker in its homeland that enacts a series of interesting twists, edged with melodrama yet driving to more tragic depths than its Hollywood equivalents. Notable also for the accomplished filmmaking of director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, The Handmaiden), presenting a powerful glimpse into a uniquely secret powerkeg of international politics.
