BALLERINA: Jun Jong-Seo Graces The Screen With Sweet Revenge In The Official Trailer
The newest official trailer is out this week for Lee Chung-hyun’s Netflix actioner, Ballerina. The film will have its premiere in the Korean Cimema Today section of the 28th edition of the Busan International Film Festival, beginning a day ahead of its October 6 premiere on the streamer.
Busan programmer Jung Han-seok has more from the festival:
Ok-joo (Jun Jong-seo) faces the sudden death of her one true friend, Min-hee (Park Yu-rim). A former bodyguard with unrivaled skills, Ok-joo embarks on a mission to find the villain, Choi Pro (Kim Ji-hun), who led Min-hee, once a promising ballerina, to her death.
This marks the second feature from new director Lee Chung-hyun, who garnered attention with his short film Bargain and his feature film debut Call. Lead actor Jun Jong-seo, who also happens to be the director’s real-life partner, portrays a formidable female warrior, building upon her demonstrated ability to embody feisty characters.
Accompanied by a punchy score by popular musician GRAY, stylish and exploratory cinematography, boldly designed spaces and colors, and intensely choreographed action scenes, this revenge drama offers an exhilarating and thought-provoking genre pleasure.
