So this is just the jury votes and doesn’t mean the movies are bad if its gets on the low side of the marks, it just isn’t as good as the higher voted ones. Of the two K-movies in contention at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival they occupy the top and bottom of the vote spread. Korean direct Park Chan … Continue reading →
