The movie had its premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival but its distributor and financier CJ ENM chose to hold back the commercial release in its native Korea until the busy end-of-year season. It is directed by Woo Min-ho and stars Hyun Bin(“Crash Landing on You”), Park Jeong-min(“Decision to Leave”) and Jeon Yeo-been(“Cobweb”), who were all in action at a press launch event Monday in Seoul. Chen Kaige was named best director and collected a special jury prize for his patriotic “The Volunteers: To the War.” The documentary award was claimed by “The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru,” a WWII tale of Chinese bravery in the rescue of British sailors that was picked as China’s entry to the Oscars, but which was disqualified for containing too much English.
