Lee Jeong-Beom's Gangster Drama Cruel Winter Blues Available To Order on DVD

Lee Jeong-Beom's much acclaimed gangster drama Cruel Winter Blues is now available to order on DVD with English subtitles included. The film had it's world premiere at the 2006 Pusan International Film Festival, which had this to say about it:

ae-moon and Min-jae have been friends since juvenile reformatory, and entered into the gang world together. When they killed a person by mistake, Min-jae was murdered by Dae-shik. For vengeance, Jae-moon goes to Dae-shik`s hometown with Chi-kuk, the youngest among the gangs. While waiting for Dae-shik, Jae-mun meets Dae-shik`s mother and she welcomes him with warmness.

The typical gangster film surprisingly and uniquely ends up as a family drama. The film depicts devastated inner state of a gangster in the set of barren winter land. Director Lee shows his skills to emotional exchanges between strangers in his feature debut. Seol Kyung-goo never disappoints us with the superb performance, and Cho Han-sun proves himself as a prominent actor. Above all, excellent performance of actress Mun-hee LAH is the most eye-catching one.
