Excellent news out of Korea yesterday. Though The Man From Nowhere is not a perfect film, a bit clumsy down the middle, it is a pretty darned good one. I believe all of us who were in Austin saw it and we all liked it. Rather a lot. So did the Korean Film Awards, giving out seven of them to the thriller.
And fans of the revenge/slasher flick Bedevilled from the festival will be pleased to know that Seo Yeong-hee took home the Best Actress Award and Jang Cheol-soo took home the Best New Director Award. The complete list of winners can be found after the break!"The Man From Nowhere" triumphed at the 2010 Korea Film Awards on Thursday, raking up the most trophies at the annual ceremony including its main star Won Bin who won the prize for best actor. The action flick directed by Lee Jeong-beom took the awards for best actor, best new actress, best cinematography, best music, best lighting, best visual effects and best editor. The movie, also starring child actress Kim Sae-ron, has been one of the hottest movies of the year, attracting over six million moviegoers during its run on the box office for several months starting August.
