"The Old Garden" to Be Released in France

Director Im Sang-soo's new film "The Old Garden" will be released in France on April 11 of next year. Cineclick Asia, which is in charge of the overseas distribution of the film, said Wednesday that the film was sold to the French film distributor Pretty Pictures even before its official release. The French film company had introduced Kim Ki-duk's "3-Iron" to the country last year.

The movie's release in France is attributable to great local interest in Lim and writer Hwang Seok-yeong, on whose same-titled novel the film is based. The Korean director has achieved such recognition that he will personally direct the French version of his previous film "A Good Lawyer's Wife", while the Korean writer, who is now staying in France, has seen six of his works including "The Old Garden" translated into French, all receiving a good response.

First shown at the San Sebastian International Film Festival held in Spain in September, the movie has been invited to the World Cinema Section of the Palm Springs International Film Festival. It will be released in Korea on Jan 4.
