Cobweb had a successful premiere at Cannes in the non-competition section, receiving a standing ovation that lasted for 10 minutes.
Before the screening, the team behind ‘Cobweb’ – Director Kim Jee Woon, Song Kang Ho, Im Soo Jung, Oh Jung Se, Jeon Yeo Been, Krystal, Jang Young Nam, and Park Jung Soo – graced the red carpet event. Their arrival was met with cheers and applause from the excited audience gathered in the theater.
According to reports, the film received an overwhelming response with a standing ovation and cheers that lasted for more than 10 minutes, even after the screening ended. Many praised director Kim’s distinctive directing style, which brilliantly showcased throughout the film.
Expressing his gratitude, the director said, “Thank you for enjoying the film. Every time I come to Cannes, I am reminded of the immense love people have for cinema. I would like to share this heartfelt appreciation with our amazing cast and crew.”
The prestigious event was attended by both domestic and foreign film industry figures such as Hirokazu Kore-eda, Hopeless directors Hong Sa Bin and Kim Chang Hoon, and Sleep’s Yoo Jae Sun.
Cobweb follows a director who is obsessed with perfecting one of his old movies that was released in the 1970s when films were subjected to censorship. As he decides to re-film it to change the ending, he faces conflict with the cast and crew who don’t understand why the script has to be rewritten.
