[자막뉴스] "아내가 가지 말자고..." 칸 영화제 심사위원장 된 박찬욱

Director Park Chan-wook, dressed in a black tuxedo, walks the red carpet. He poses with other jurors, including Hollywood actress Demi Moore. Director Park will become the first Korean in the history of the Cannes Film Festival to lead the jury in the competition section. President Park stated that he hesitated briefly upon receiving the offer to serve as jury president, but decided it was now his turn to give back to the festival. [Park Chan-wook / President of the Jury at the 79th Cannes Film Festival: (When I told my wife about the offer to become jury president) she told me not to go. Because I have served as a juror before, I know very well how stressful the job is… Since I have received so many gifts (at Cannes, such as winning Best Director), I thought it was time to serve…] Director Park also noted changes in the global film industry as the reason behind the changed status of Korean cinema. He explained that there has been a strengthening trend toward accepting films from diverse backgrounds. [Park Chan-wook / President of the Jury at the 79th Cannes Film Festival: Korea is no longer a peripheral nation in the film industry (compared to about 20 years ago). I do not want to say that Korean cinema has finally entered the center simply because it has done well. I believe it is the result of the global film industry becoming able to embrace a wider variety of films.] Amidst these changes, while acknowledging that he is serving as the jury president and that Korean films have been invited to this year's Cannes Film Festival, he jokingly remarked that he would remain objective in his judging. [Park Chan-wook / President of the Jury at the 79th Cannes Film Festival: I can say for sure that I will not give Korean films extra points just because of this.] Unlike last year, when there were no films invited to the major sections, this year, Director Yeon Sang-ho's The Hive and Director Na Hong-jin's Hope will meet film fans around the world in the early hours of the 16th and the evening of the 17th, respectively, local time.
