Minority Opinion helmer Kim Seong-je has a story to tell, although bear with him if it’s more to do with the arduous BTS of it all with his latest international crime noir, Bogota: City Of The Lost, and less so the film itself. Casting and pre-production ensued for about a year or so until cameras rolled on location in Colombia in 2020, offsetting one of the most hectic scheduling spells for a film to endure as the Covid-19 pandemic set in worldwide.
Eighteen months later with a few delays in between and production finally wrapped as Kim set out to complete the film which eventually got to hold its World Premiere for the 29th edition of the Busan International Film Festival a few months ago. I haven’t seen all the reviews so I don’t know what the general feedback on this film is, but it’ll be worth watching to appreciate the effort that Kim and the rest of the team put into this one.
To survive in the tough city, one needs to get tougher…
In the 1990s, 19-year-old Kook-hee (SONG Joong-ki) moves to Bogota with his family, wishing for a better life only to end up living from hand to mouth. Beginning at the bottom of the ladder, he goes through hell and high water and now dominates the black market of Bogota.
Bogota: City Of The Lost also stars Lee Hee-joon, Kwon Hae-hyo, and Cho Hyun-chul, and will have its Korean release in theaters on December 31. Watch the official trailer:
