Reviews
If I'm not mistaken, Actresses is South Korea's first mockumentary film
Six of South Korea's beautiful actresses gather for a magazine photoshoot, resulting in conflict of individuals. At the time when I used to worship mockumentary television shows like 'The Office' and 'Parks and Recreation', South Korea also released their own mockumentary- in the form of film. The rare gathering of six of the country's top actresses, giving hem a specific scenario, and letting the camera roll as they improvise their own lines and have an honest dialogue with each other really appealed to me.Plus, let's not forget the real-life confrontation between Choi Jiwoo and Ko Hyunjung, which I thought at first was part of the scenario given to them.
As what Director E J-Young mentioned, he wanted to create a film that's unconventional, and so Actresses was born- a film without a script. He is known to create films with topic of scandals and affairs (The Bacchus Lady, 2016), and unconventional ones such as Behind the Camera (2013), another mockumentary style film.
Their emotions and thoughts not as actresses but as humans were beautifully captured, Actresses is a film that you'd likely want to watch again.
