Netflix's movie 'Revelations' celebrated its top ranking in the global top 10 movies (non-English) institutional sector by releasing a tense unpublished still.
As the Netflix movie 'Revelations,' which depicts the pursuit of individual beliefs by a pastor who believes punishing the perpetrator of a missing person case is a divine revelation and a detective struggling with the spirit of a deceased brother, continues to draw explosive reactions from global audiences, it released a tense unpublished still.
The released stills draw attention as they capture the explosive performances of the actors, which create a dense suspense with perfect character synchronization. First, the image of Pastor Seong Min-chan (Ryu Jun-yeol), delivering prayers with an agitated gesture as if he is wailing, allows one to feel the intense waves of his changing inner self after witnessing the revelation, stimulating curiosity about the choices he will make in the face of blind faith.
Next, the tense showdown with suspect Kwon Yang-rae (Shin Min-jae) in the pouring rain hints at the endless confrontation and conflict that will unfold between them, amplifying curiosity about the eventual outcome of this relationship. Behind the urgent image of Detective Lee Yeon-hee (Shin Hyun-bin) bound to a chair with her hands tied, the face of Seong Min-chan, gazing at someone with a mix of anger and disdain, creates a breathless tension, as if something is about to erupt.
In particular, the stills capturing the moments of revelation witnessed by Seong Min-chan allow viewers to become fully immersed in the awe he experiences, highlighting Director Yeon Sang-ho's efforts to express cinematic reality as it appears through high-quality production.
The film 'Revelations,' which depicts the madness toward the distorted beliefs of seemingly similar yet different characters through the overwhelming acting of three actors and breathless suspense, captivates global viewers with unpredictable developments and tense drama, enhancing the pleasure of the psychological thriller genre.
Meanwhile, just three days after its release, climbed to the top of the Netflix global top 10 movies (non-English) institutional sector, receiving enthusiastic praise from viewers around the world. "The long take scene in the abandoned building is worthy of fervent praise" (Watcha Pedia, Taek*), "A film that vividly expresses the nature of weak and selfish humans," "Ryu Jun-yeol's performance, the structure of the story, and the tense direction all blend together," "It makes one think about how far faith can drive a person," and "A unique film that only Yeon Sang-ho could create. It broadens the scope of Korean filmmaking and is impressive with its fresh material and development," all expressing high satisfaction with the engaging performances of the actors and the intense genre fun.
Not only domestically, but overseas viewers are also showering it with accolades. "I was completely immersed from the first scene, and my heart raced so much that I couldn't take my eyes off the screen," "Director Yeon Sang-ho's in-depth character setting and excellent directing captivate the viewer," and "It's perfect without any flaws. Every element beautifully blends together to create a unique outcome," all of which add to the fervor surrounding the attractive development and distinctive directing.
Created through collaboration with writer Kim Gyu-seok, following 'Hell,' with solid storytelling and participation from executive producer Alfonso Cuarón, the film 'Revelations,' featuring explosive performances by Ryu Jun-yeol, Shin Hyun-bin, and Shin Min-jae, was released on the 21st.
