[Korean DVD News] If You Were Me 3 [세 번째 시선] Available for Pre-Order

The third installment of the critically acclaimed “If You Were Me” series commissioned by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea consists of six shorts dealing with everything from illegal immigration to racism and workplace insecurity. Included in the set are: Muhammad The Hermit King by Jeong Yun-cheol [정윤철] (Marathon), The Girl Disappeared by Kim Hyeon-pil [김현필] (Wonderful Days), GaP by Lee Mi-yeon [이미연] (L’Abri), A Rough Life by Noh Dong-seok [노동석] (My Generation), Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! by Kim Gok [김곡] and Kim Sun [김선] (Capitalist Manifesto: Working Men Of All Countries, Accumulate!) and What Shall I Do? by Hong Gi-seon [홍기선] (The Road Taken). Adam Hartzell, reporting for GreenCine Daily from last year's PIFF, wrote that Bomb! Bomb! Bomb! was the best thing he'd seen so far at the festival, and called the Kim duo's previous collaboration "fascinatingly weird". I happened to catch Capitalist Manifesto on an outstanding DVD collection called The True Heart Towards the World, and thought it the most disappointing entry in the set, leading me to wonder if we'd even been watching the same film. If You Were Me 3 screened at both the Jeonju International Film Festival and the Pusan International Film Festival.

Volumes one and two of the ongoing series may now be purchased together as a special limited edition set.
