Well, this movie won 15 (!) awards out of 23! It's a historical drama... no, no, not Faith (that's a dorama not movie btw). And one of the best Korean actors has the main role in it. He played in Iris and A Bittersweet Life. He's the shining star in a Missha commercial. And he even has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Yup, it's Lee Byung Hun.
Ok, enough chitchat. The big winner is...... Masquerade!
This historical drama retells Mark Twain's "The Prince & The Pauper" set in Joseon era South Korea.
Lee Byung Hun won the Popularity Award and best actor award (that one for the first time in his life). Enough about LBH. The movie won awards for the best film, the best director, the best supporting actor, the best screenplay, the best costume design, the best art design, the best music, the best sound effects, the best lighting, the best editing, the best production, the best cinematography and the best visual effects.
I think I've said it before: I'm not a big fan of historical dramas, but hmmm, if this movie received so many awards, then I really should see Masquerade. I don't know when we can see this movie in the Netherlands. But I know that it will be shown during the London Korean Film Festival 2012. The LKFF will be held from November 1 - November 16. And guess who will be attending the screening: the one and only Lee Byung Hun! He will also take part in a Q&A session after the movie.
Ok, ok, I'll stop talking about Lee Byung Hun. Check out the trailer Masquerade with Lee Byung Hun. Aaaahhh. Ok, that's enough LBH *eheh*.
