'Nowhere to Hide' is a 1999 South Korean film written and directed by Lee Myung-se.
Synopsis
The film is set in Incheon in South Korea. A murder is committed, and the cops search for the killer.
Opening up in monochrome but with occasional flashes of colour, the first action scene is a disorientating strobe-like affair. From there the movie proceeds in color, with many innovative editing techniques, including slow-motion, jump cut, step-printed slow motion, "jump dissolves," still frames, and layering images on top of one another.
Cast
* Park Joong-hoon stars as the obsessive Detective Woo.
* Ahn Sung-ki
* Jang Dong-gun as Detective Kim.
* Choi Ji-woo
Awards
Jang Dong-gun won the best supporting actor at the Blue Dragon Film Awards for his role as Detective Kim.
Reception
The film was a hit at both the inaugural Asia Pacific Film Festival in Sydney, and the Sundance Film Festival, but its American release was limited, brief, and unsuccessful.
