Professor Hak-kyu moves to a small town to teach night classes when a scandal gets him pushed out of his university. During his time
there he gets involved in a torrid relationship with Deok, despite having his wife and daughter back home. When he is reinstated and travels back, he finds it harder to extricate himself from the affair than he had imagined and more terrible misfortunes wait for him and his family upon his return home.
Eight years later, the now successful Hakkyu’s sight begins to fail, but more surprises lie in wait.
A dark melodrama with a hearty dose of film noir,
YIM Pil-sung’s carefully designed Scarlet Innocence bowed at the Toronto International Film Festival ahead of its domestic release. Starring heartthrob and proven box office draw
JUNG Woo-sung, the film confirms YIM’s standing as a visual auteur and also broadens his appeal with the inclusion of strong melodramatic elements. Young star
E Som takes a big leap, confirming herself as a major presence on the Korean film scene.
