| mi pare che la news sia stata detta, ma confesso che la pigrizia non mi fa andare a cercare dove, quindi la metto di nuovo e magari per intero  S. Korean star director wins Alfred Bauer prize at Berlin film festival (2007/02/17)
BERLIN, Feb. 17 (Yonhap) -- South Korean film director Park Chan-wook won the Alfred Bauer Prize for a science fiction comedy at the annual Berlin film festival on Saturday for opening up new perspectives in cinema art.
The award for "I'm a Cyborg, But That's OK", is another major prize for Park since 2004, when he was honored with the Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival for his film "Old Boy".
The sci-fi comedy, which tells the story of love between two psychiatric hospital patients, won the prize, named after a legendary German photography director and one of the eight main awards in the film festival,
"I would like to share this award with my wife. She is very unhappy with my career as a director. I am not home for weeks, busy all the time and even when I am home my head is full of other thoughts", Park said in his acceptance remarks. "She is now here sharing this honor with me -- I hope she will now forgive me. When I get home, I hope she will tell our friends, 'My husband is a director but that's OK'."
The Berlin festival, in its 57th edition this year, opened on Feb. 8 and ends Sunday.
The Berlinale's top prize went to director Wang Quan'an for "Tuya's Marriage", which was one of two Chinese entries at this year's festival. Last year's Golden Bear went to "Grbavica", a film by Jasmila Zbanic on the aftermath of the Bosnian war.
"Tuya's Marriage" was chosen from among 22 competitors at the festival by a seven-member jury led by "Taxi Driver" screenwriter Paul Schrader.
U.S.-born Israeli director Joseph Cedar won the best director award for "Beaufort", which depicts the fear and futility felt by soldiers guarding a famed military outpost in southern Lebanon just before Israel's withdrawal from the country in 2000. Hancinema**** oggi sono in vena di news eheheh!! Three top stars join director KIM Jee-woon (2007/02/15)
Top actors Lee Byeong-Heon, Jeong Woo-seong and Song Kang-ho have all agreed to star in director Kim Ji-woon's ambitious new project "The Good, the Bad and the Weird". LEE will portray "the good", JEONG "the bad", and SONG "the weird", respectively.
A so-called "Korean-style Western" set in Manchuria during the early 1900s, the film ranks as one of the highest-profile Korean films scheduled to be shot this year. The casting of three major actors in a single film also makes it a virtual showcase of Korean star power.
Produced by Barunson and sold internationally by Cineclick Asia, "The Good, The Bad and the Weird" will cost over $10 million and is tentatively scheduled to start shooting in spring of this year, with a release expected in 2008.
Inspired by the Sergio Leone classic The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, the film also builds off a string of Korean genre films from the 1970s that combined the aesthetics of the Western with outlaw movements aligned against Japanese colonial forces.
International sales company Cineclick Asia will have the film available for pre-sale at this week's European Film Market at the Berlin International Film Festival.

ma dato che si parlava di cinematografia...
Stile diverso, obiettivi diversi, son due registi che l'unica cosa che hanno in comune è la nazionalità! O__o
