"Neutral has no place here. You have to choose sides." Arrow Video has debuted an official trailer for the restored 1080p re-release of Park Chan-wook's early film known as JSA - Joint Security Area. This first opened in South Korea in 2000, and premiered at festivals in 2001, Park's third feature at the time. "Before Oldboy, before The Handmaiden, visionary filmmaker Park Chan-wook helmed this gripping tale of deceit, misunderstanding and the senselessness of war." Gunfire breaks out in the DMZ between North & South Korea, leaving two North Korean soldiers dead while a wounded South Korean soldier (Lee Byung-hun) flees to safety. With the tenuous peace between the two warring nations on a knife-edge, a neutral team of investigators, headed by Swiss Army Major Sophie Jean (Lee Young-ae), is dispatched to question both sides to determine what really happened. This looks like an excellent film! Perhaps forgotten about mostly because Park went on to make so many other incredible, iconic films after this one. But still worth a watch. ›››
