[Our Thanks to Alexander Thebez for the review]
Je-yong Lee's Actresses is a mockumentary that features six of Korea's best known actresses. In a faux Vogue photoshoot, six women, each representing their generation, mingle on a seemingly never-ending Christmas Eve.
Actresses is an unconventional movie that blends elements from different genres. The film explores the notion of fame and celebrity and the impact of both elements on female public figures.
Aesthetically, Actresses is reminiscent of a documentary, as the film employs the familiar hand-held method of shooting. The fact that none of the characters are aware of the ever-present camera, however, creates a very different feel in the way we observe these characters. At times I had remind to myself that the characters that these women play are ultimately... characters.
The film is scripted, although it is evident that most of the dialogue is obviously improvised. The banter between the characters is what keeps the film going.

Tuesday Top Ten: for the list maker in me and the list lover in you
We spend a lot of time with the older ladies here at Tfe -- the working legends as the case may be. So for a change of pace, some quality time with the young and still-rising. What follows is a list of the ten whose next decade on screen we're most intrigued to watch develop. The cut off for this list was 33 years of age because starting right about there... well, that's a Huge time for actresses (many win Oscars or give career defining performances at 33/34). Let's look at the actresses who haven't reached that important time yet.
10 Actresses (Under 33) Whose Next Decade We Eagerly Await
disclaimer: This list includes English language actresses only since American distribution of foreign films is so problematic. It can be hard to follow full careers but we could...
