One of the most highly anticipated Korean films of the year, Lee Chang-Dong’s BURNING (버닝) has just unveiled a full trailer and promotional poster ahead of its Cannes debut in May.
An adaptation of the short story “Barn Burning” written by Haruki Murakami, the new trailer doesn’t give much more away than the teaser, although the lack of subtitles probably has something to do with that. An incident has occurred between Jong-Soo (Yoo Ah-In), Ben and Hae-Mi (Jeon Song-Seo). Also starring Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead, Okja).
The text on the poster mirrors the final line of the original teaser: “Now tell the truth.”
This is Lee Chang-Dong’s first feature since Poetry (2010), which won the best screenplay award at Cannes that year.
