NOTEBOOK FROM MY MOTHER also Invited to Japanese Fest
A pair of Korean films were invited to the Kyoto International Art and Film Festival this month. The festival featured the world premiere of CHO Sung-kyu’s Beautiful Food, featuring Kara member PARK Gyu-ri, as well as the melodrama Notebook from My Mother.
Beautiful Food stars PARK as a woman who struggles to work on a video project meant to showcase the cuisine of the Gangneung area ahead of the launch of the nearby Pyeongchang Winter Olympic Games.
PARK has featured in several of CHO’s earlier works, including Two Rooms, Two Nights (2016) and How to Break up with My Cat (2016). Prior to her film work, PARK was known as a member of the Kpop band Kara and for her extensive TV work.
