With the passionate performance of actress Lee Hye-young, iconic scenes from the movie 'The Old Woman with the Knife' have been unveiled through still cuts.
On the 8th, the production team of 'The Old Woman with the Knife' (directed by Min-kyu Dong, produced by Suphilms, distributed by NEW) released the first batch of press stills for the work.
'The Old Woman with the Knife' is an action drama depicting a fierce confrontation between 'Jo-gak' (Lee Hye-young), a legendary killer who has worked for 40 years in an organization that eliminates human beings like cockroaches, and 'Tu-woo' (Kim Sung-cheol), a mysterious killer who has pursued him his entire life. From the first press stills, the thrilling atmosphere surrounding Jo-gak and Tu-woo has heightened the tension.
The released still cuts capture the tense confrontation between Jo-gak and Tu-woo and portray the unpredictable relationships of the characters surrounding them, showcasing the chemistry of characters traversing between fate and Karma. Firstly, it presents the refined emotional line of the legendary killer 'Jo-gak,' whom all killers both admire and fear. The uncompromising confrontation between 'Jo-gak' and 'Tu-woo' brings the condensed narrative between characters to the forefront. It also raises curiosity about the sharp gaze of the mysterious killer 'Tu-woo' and hints at a buildup of conflict, particularly in the scene where he faces 'Kang-sensei' (Yeon Woo-jin).
Additionally, through the portrayal of 'Jo-gak's' master 'Ryu' (Kim Moo-yeol) and the young 'Jo-gak' known as 'Son-tong' (Shin Si A) before she learns about the cruelty of the world, it adds depth to the narrative by juxtaposing the past and present. Furthermore, the sharp confrontation of 'Jo-gak' threatening 'Kang-sensei' and the tense standoff with 'Ryu' further intensifies the suspense and foreshadows the high-stakes conflict to come. Finally, the presence of 'Mu-yong,' the dog that stays by 'Jo-gak's' side, captures attention. Characters with such intense narratives are expected to evoke immersion through the emotions and actions they exude on screen.
'The Old Woman with the Knife' is set to be released in theaters on the 30th (Wednesday).
