Since its screening at 1993, Harold Ramis’s “Groundhog Day” has been a source of inspiration for a number of films. Cho Sun-ho however, in his debut, decided to adapt to the Korean standards, to take it a bit further, and in the process, to present a new perspective on the “repeating day” concept.
“A Day” screened at Fantasia International Film Festival
Jun-young is a celebrated surgeon working in third world countries, who abandoned a prestigious job at a hospital to do so, after his daughter, Eun-jung, survived an almost terminal illness three years ago. His decision however, has alienated him from her, since is quite frustrated with her father’s neglect. As Jun-young is on the way to meet her and celebrate her birthday, he stumbles upon an accident on the road involving a taxi, and decides to help. What he finds out soon, though, is that Eun-jung was killed in that same accident.
