REEL Talk: HAEMOO chosen as Korea’s entry for Best Film in Foreign Language
Updated: 2014-09-26 12:02:17 (KST)
One of the world's biggest -- if not THE biggest -- events for actors, the Academy Awards will take place next March.
The anticipation is already mounting and potentially competing in the Best Foreign-language category will be Korea's "Haemoo."
For more, we have our film critic Jason Bechervaise live in the studio.
So, Jason, how does this work exactly? Korea submits a film, and then it has a chance to be short-listed?
Essentially yes. Each year the Korean Film Council otherwise known as KOFIC decide on a film they feel has a chance to be nominated for the Best Foreign-Language award, and this year they have chosen HAEMOO. We’ll get on to why they chose HAEMOO shortly, but as to how it works from here, is that it joins a number of submissions (76 entered last year) so it’s a tough race, and it will be competing with some very strong films and in January several hundred academy voters will select six films from a shortlist, and then a committee will add three that have been overlooked, and then two sets of voters (one from the East and West coast) will pick 5 films.
So what aspects -- in terms of quality -- are these voters looking for?
The academy tends to have a particular taste, and there are things they tend to prefer. Films based on history, or films that explore social issues that are not too dark tend to be looked at favorable with the academy. Last year THE GREAT BEAUTY by Paulo Sorrentino won the Oscar, and the year before ARMOR by Michael Haneke won it, both of which did well at festivals.
Would you say the Oscars are somewhat Eurocentric when it comes to the Foreign Language Award?
For sure, and you have to remember who the voters are, and many of them have European heritage, and so they can relate and understand the films better. Japanese films though have fared better then Korean films (won four times; nominated 19 times).
No Korean film has ever been nominated?
Yes, and this comes up every year, and people do wonder what it takes for a Korean film to be nominated especially since Korean films are so popular on the global market.
So why HAEMOO ?
The Korean Film Council said that the reception the film (directed by Shim Sung-bo and starring Kim Yoon-suk, Han Ye-ri, Park Yoo-chun) received at the Toronto International Film Festival was a big factor, and I was there, and it certainly generated much praise for its strong visual style and compelling narrative (it’s about fisherman who smuggle Chinese-Koreans on board a boat that goes horribly wrong). Also, SNOWPIERCER, which is directed by Bong Joon Ho is also being considered for some of the main categories (Best Directing, adapted screenplay, best supporting actress (Tilda Swinton) and given Bong’s connection to HAEMOO (he produced and co-wrote) that could also be a factor ? the power of Bong Joon-ho’s name.
So as an expert, what's your outlook? Do either film have a chance of getting nominated?
My only worry with HAEMOO and SNOWPIERCER too, actually, is that they are very dark. The academy don’t tend to pick such films, and so I think, if I am honest, it’s a long shot (in terms of HAEMOO), but at the same time, I think it’s the best decision. A GIRL AT MY DOOR was also a potential possibility, which is produced by Lee Chang-dong, but with Bong Joon Ho as popular as he is, I think HAEMOO was the right choice. As for SNOWPIERCER, I think it could get nominated for best supporting actress and Best Adapted Screenplay ? it has a realistic chance, especially given how well the film was received in the States, but again, lots of competition, and it was released before the awards season begins.
Apart from Director Bong, which Korean director do you think has a fair chance of having a movie nominated for the Best Foreign Language at the Oscars?
I think if there was a director that can do it, it’s Lee Chang-dong, which I know may sound ironic given what I said. His appetite to make films with a social critique and his visual style suits the academy taste, and he’s consistent. I think if he’s given a decent budget to make a masterpiece that can pick up some awards in Cannes and other festivals, I think he could do it. Both Bong Joon Ho and Park Chan-wook could also make films that go on to get that all important nomination, but their styles are not typical of the academy’s taste, but SNOWPIERCER could change that
Alright, thank you Jason for dropping by.

Q:这项工作是怎样进行的？韩国选送一个电影，然后就有机会被候选入
围吗？
A:基本上如此。每年韩国电影协会或者被称为韩国电影振兴委员会会选
择一部他们感觉有可能会被提名为最佳外语片奖的电影，今年他们选择了
"海雾"。稍后会说到为什么他们很快选择了海雾，先说一下奖项是如何
进行的，它会与许多的作品提交参与，所以这是一个很激烈的竞争，它将
同一些精良的电影角逐，在一月份数百名的学院选民会从中选出六部影片
然后委员会会增加3个被忽视的电影，之后两组选民会再选出5部电影
Q:你会认为涉及到外语片奖时奥斯卡是有点欧洲中心论的吗？
A:的确如此，你要记住那些选民是谁，他们有欧洲的传统文化，所以会
更好地去联系起来理解电影。尽管这样日本电影的表现比韩国电影要稍好
些。
Q:韩国电影从未被提名过？
A:是的，这个每年都会被提到，人们也想知道一个韩国电影被提名的话
需要哪些条件特别是从韩国电影在全球市场如此受欢迎开始。
Q:所以为什么是"海雾"呢？
A:韩国电影振兴委员会表示这部影片在多伦多电影节受到欢迎是一个很
重要的因素，我当时也在那儿，毋庸置疑它得到如此高的称赞是因其强烈
的视觉风格和引人入胜的叙事手法。还有"雪国列车"，这是由奉俊昊指
导的一些主要类别 与奉导联系起来的海雾也是在考虑中的一个原因吧？
是"奉俊昊"这三个字的力量。 |
