Several new films at this year’s Florence Korea Film Fest set their stories in the past. This is also the case for Lee Hwang-Kyungs dramedy “Best Friend”. He deals with the tense and oppressive political climate of the 1980s and president Park’s regime.
“Best Friend” is screening at the Florence Korea Film Fest
Ui-Sik comes back to Korea from his exile in the USA to announce his candidature to the presidential election. The political party in power wants to prevent him. Ui-sik is set under house arrest for being a communist and therefore a threat to security of the country. In order to be up to date on his intentions and actions, a troupe has to observe him. Head of the observation team is Dae-Kwon, a fervent anti-communist and so the perfect fit for the job. His co-workers are a bit less disciplined, however. And so the plan to work undetected fails.
