KINO ACQUIRES PRESIDENT'S LAST BANG
Kino, which has had some tough luck with some of its Asian releases, has picked up THE PRESIDENT'S LAST BANG. Re-edited by court order in Korea, it tells the true story of the assassination of President Park by his chief of intelligence, Kim Jae-Gyu, and it's been generating controversy wherever it goes.
With a filthy dirty title (come on, what kind of "bang" do you think they're talking about?) and impeccable tech credits (it's directed by Im Sang-Soo of A GOOD LAWYER'S WIFE) and acting (Kim is played by SAVE THE GREEN PLANET's industrialist, Baek Yoon-Shik) Kino may have a cross-over hit on its hands. Americans seem to love period Asian films that teach 'em a little something about another country, and you can't get much better than PRESIDENT's.
