Un homme fatigué se réveille dans un bar auprès d’une barmaid qui va changer sa vie irrémédiablement alors qu’il apprend à la connaître. Trois criminels ont plus ou moins réussi à kidnapper leur cible, mais leur mission ne semble finalement aller nulle part. Vers la fin des années 1970, une mystérieuse femme gère un bar où une situation dangereuse affectera l’existence de chacun. Deux tueurs cherchent leur victime anonyme, qui se rend dans un resto chaque jour à la même heure. Quatre cinéastes coréens incroyablement talentueux, quatre visions cinématographiques fascinantes, quatre récits captivants impliquant des assassins, avec des éléments d’horreur, de suspense, de comédie, de néo-noir et plus encore. Fantasia est ravi de présenter THE KILLERS, un épatant film à sketches qui revigore les histoires de tueurs à gages avec beaucoup de style et de passion.
Du début à la fin, THE KILLERS est brillamment conçu, avec une direction photo de haut niveau, une remarquable trame sonore, et surtout, un impeccable amalgame de genres qui se marient merveilleusement. On a vu d’innombrables films mettant en scène des assassins, mais jamais exactement comme celui-ci. C’est connu que les réalisateurs coréens ont un don pour prendre des formules éculées et les réinventer avec d’audacieuses nouvelles approches visuelles et narratives. L’entière distribution est excellente, particulièrement Shim Eun-kyung (MISS GRANNY), qui ne cesse jamais de nous impressionner avec son exceptionnel talent d’actrice. Voici un film qui vous rappellera pourquoi le cinéma de genre coréen est dans une classe à part. Si vous souhaitez découvrir de fabuleux nouveaux cinéastes, vous êtes la cible parfaite pour THE KILLERS. – Traduction: Kevin Laforest
A fatigued man wakes up at a bar with a bartender who will forever change his life, as he gets to know more about her. Three criminals have somewhat accomplished their task of kidnapping their target, but their overall mission seems to go nowhere in the end. In the late 1970s, a mysterious woman runs a bar where a deadly situation will affect the lives of everyone. Two killers are looking for their faceless victim, who shows up at a diner every day at 6 o’clock sharp. Four incredibly talented Korean filmmakers, four intriguing cinematic visions, four astounding stories revolving around murderers for hire, with elements of horror, suspense, dark comedy, neo-noir, and more. Fantasia is thrilled to present THE KILLERS, an astonishing anthology film that revitalizes the hitman narrative with loads of style and passion.
From start to finish, THE KILLERS is a beautifully crafted film with top-notch cinematography, an outstanding musical score, and most importantly, a flawless mix of genres that work so organically with one another. The hitman genre has been done so many times before, but never quite like this. It’s no secret that Korean directors are known for taking familiar tropes and narratives, and reinventing them with daring new approaches to filmmaking and storytelling. Everyone in the cast does a terrific job, especially the fantastic Shim Eun-kyung (MISS GRANNY), who continues to showcase her exceptional skills as an actress. Everything—the acting, the scriptwriting, the directing—will remind you why Korean genre cinema is a force to be reckoned with. If you’re looking to discover some remarkable new talents in the Korean film scene, you are the perfect target for THE KILLERS. – Steven Lee
