"Sa-kwa", by Kang Yi-kwan (Korea), was awarded the Prize of the International Critics, at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Details of the Prize

What You See Is What You Get. Sa-kwa is "surprisingly directed by a young man, Kang Yi-kwan, who displays an uncanny ability to plumb the depths of a woman's psyche". Howard Feinstein reviews the film.
Following the Path of Revenge. "In the right hands, revenge is a good source of material for the cinema", begins Rui Pedro Tendinha in his text on two films demonstrating this thesis, Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (Park Chan-wook) and Hostel (Eli Roth).
Who is Takeshi?. "So what is Takeshis' supposed to be", asks Charles-Stéphane Roy. "An object of vanity? A statement on celebrity? A visit to the cineaste's mental amusement park ... or the extravaganza of a self-made man with too much liberty and money at hand?"
