Phantom
South Korea Focus
A stylish and action-packed combination of whodunit and espionage thriller
set during the Japanese occupation of Korea
In 1933, while Korea was under Japanese occupation, a small resistance group’s plot to assassinate the new Japanese Governor-General is foiled by security services. Suspecting a mole or “Phantom” has infiltrated the government, five suspects are rounded up and sent to a remote hotel and given a day to out the Phantom, or face torture.
Unfolding in duplicitous twists and turns, with sumptuous cinematography and production design and some exhilarating action sequences, this superbly acted drama adds a stylish feminine touch to the classic spy thriller.
“WITH ITS HYPER-GLAMOROUS SETS AND COSTUMES, ITS NOIRISH SMOKE
AND MIRRORS, ITS ESPIONAGE AND DOUBLE AGENCY, AND ITS KICKASS
ACTION, PHANTOM FOREGROUNDS ITS OWN CINEMATIC QUALITIES”
