In this age of instant celebrities heralded for the oddest of accomplishments, Yeo-rae (Lee Ha-nee) has hit the jackpot. After setting a Guinness World Record for excessively consuming a popular soft drink, she establishes herself as a model and actress. However, what goes up quickly comes down, and hard. An embarrassing performance in a ridiculous B-movie makes her the laughingstock of the entire country. Exhausted and disillusioned, Yeo-rae travels to a Pacific island where she meets Jonathan Na (Lee Sun-kyun), a wealthy environmentalist, whom she immediately marries. Seven years later, the couple return to Korea and Yeo-rae has another painful reckoning. Her Prince Charming is in reality a narcissistic, controlling, violent jerk who treats her like a luxury doll, keeping her prisoner in his castle. But the tide could be turning, as her neighbour Bum-woo (Gong Myoung), a bumbling student, is in fact her number-one fan, desperate to see her back on the screen. The unlikely duo decide to do away with Jonathan, but the best laid plans of Yeo-rae’s knight in shining armour are dubious at best.
Imaginative, hilarious, and visually sumptuous, KILLING ROMANCE is sure to be a highlight of this year’s crop of South Korean films. Director Lee Won-suk, who won an Audience Award at Fantasia 2013 for the unforgettable HOW TO USE GUYS WITH SECRET TIPS, delivers his best feature to date with this madcap musical comedy. Lee directs masterfully, conjuring up superb tableaux brimming with creativity that borrow as much from comic strips as from Hollywood classics of the genre. Actress Lee Ha-nee (PHANTOM) shines with every screen appearance, her magnetic Yeo-rae eliciting uncontrollable laughter while remaining tremendously poignant. Meanwhile, Lee Sun-kyun (PARASITE) makes a delightfully detestable antagonist, while Gong Myoung (EXTREME JOB) plays a sympathetic loser who can talk to animals. In the tradition of such eccentric gems as MILOCRORZE: A LOVE STORY, KILLING ROMANCE is a must-see for filmgoers in search of daring and delightful cinema.

En cette ère de célébrités instantanées portées aux nues pour des raisons étranges, Yeo-rae (Lee Ha-nee) a frappé le jackpot. Après un record Guinness de consommation abusive d’une boisson gazeuse populaire, elle s’est rapidement imposée en tant que mannequin et actrice. Toutefois, tout ce qui monte vite redescend brutalement. À la suite d’une performance gênante dans un nanar sidéral, elle devient la risée de tout le pays. Fatiguée et désillusionnée, Yeo-rae se rend sur une île du Pacifique où elle rencontre Jonathan Na (Lee Sun-kyun), un noble et riche environnementaliste, qu’elle épouse immédiatement. Sept ans plus tard, le couple revient en Corée et Yeo-rae s’est pris un autre douloureux retour sur terre. Son prince charmant est en réalité un salaud narcissique, contrôlant et violent qui la traite comme une poupée de luxe en la maintenant prisonnière de son château. Mais le vent pourrait tourner, car son voisin Bum-woo (Gong Myoung), un étudiant paumé, est en fait son fan numéro un prêt à tout pour la revoir à l’écran. L’improbable duo décide d’assassiner Jonathan, mais ce preux chevalier alignera les plans foireux et les interventions douteuses.
Imaginatif, hilarant et visuellement somptueux, KILLING ROMANCE sera assurément un fait saillant de cette cuvée annuelle de films sud-coréens. Le cinéaste Lee Won-suk, lauréat d’un prix du public à Fantasia 2013 pour l’inoubliable HOW TO USE GUYS WITH SECRET TIPS, nous livre son meilleur long métrage à date avec cette comédie musicale déjantée qu’il réalise de main de maître, alignant les superbes tableaux regorgeant de créativité empruntant autant à la bande dessinée qu’aux classiques hollywoodiens du genre. L’actrice Lee Ha-nee (PHANTOM) resplendit à chaque présence à l’écran en incarnant une Yeo-rae magnétique suscitant les éclats de rire incontrôlables tout en demeurant infiniment touchante. De son côté, Lee Sun-kyun (PARASITE) compose un antagoniste délicieusement détestable, pendant que Gong Myoung (EXTREME JOB) campe un loser sympathique capable de parler aux animaux. Dans la lignée des joyaux excentriques à la MILOCRORZE: A LOVE STORY, KILLING ROMANCE est un incontournable pour les cinéphiles en manque d’œuvres audacieuses et réjouissantes.
