🎙️ Fresh out of a sold-out Kinomania screening at Odeon - one of Bulgaria’s oldest and most beloved film festivals, where Kev and Vanessa liiiterally sat on the stairs in true cinemaniac fashion - Angel and Roman dive into Park Chan-wook’s latest fever dream (and yes, they kept mixing up the title).

Based on a book once adapted by Costa-Gavras, the film opens with a cheeky wink to his version. From there, the stroll spirals into sociopathy, the full K-whiplash effect, and why Korean cinema’s tonal shifts keep throwing the West off balance. We draw parallels to Indian Masala and Nigerian genre-bending; embrace the digital sheen; and ramble through k-drama banter throwing in Bulgarian estrada. Also: was Son Ye-jin’s character underdeveloped?

Roman finally saw Parasite (press conference pending), and The Handmaiden remains undefeated.
