Here’s a list of films playing at the Pusan International Film Festival in the sections for “Gala Presentation” “Open Cinema” and “Korean Cinema Today”. Also included is a list of actors/directors making an appearance at the fest. LP6 will be there but one person that will not be there is
Erika Sawajiri, found out why below.
During last weekend, Erika Sawajiri and her fellow cast members made a press appearance for their upcoming film “Closed Note” in Japan. During the media event, Erika Sawajiri looked visibily perturbed, often standing with her arms folded and a cold stare. During the entire media event, Erika spoke only three sentences, one line “Betsu Ni…” (nothings wrong) becoming a catchphrase among the reporters there.
The actress did give an apology on on her website about her conduct. Erika was scheduled to appear at the Pusan International Film Festival during the fest’s opening ceremony and film showing, but because of last weekend’s incident, her agency and film company decided to cancel her appearance. Ouch.
