Savon

From writer-director Lee Jun Sup comes a jet-black — or rather, blood-red — comedy-thriller about crime, consumerism, and the price people will pay to get ahead. After a close call with her sleazy new boyfriend, Jae-in (Jung Yi Ju) discovers a prominent soap company is offering a service to clean up more than just your average mess. Discreet, corporate-minded, and methodical, the outfit in question does a good job, allowing Jae-in to go back to her life as an aspiring actress. She’s haunted by lingering paranoia, however, and soon she remembers a loose end that needs attending to… Lee is not one to waste time, and every second of his two-hour film counts. Opening with a warped take on TV commercials, the plot that follows is streamlined and suspenseful. The send-ups of corporate culture and the world of screen acting are darkly amusing, and visually Savon is a treat — sleek, polished, and finely composed. Lee has the smarts of a good satirist and the instincts of a born entertainer.
