The eleventh feature film from director Kim Jee-Woon ("I Saw the Devil"), Cobweb premiered out of competition at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and stars Song Kang-Ho ("Parasite") as a filmmaker frantically trying to finish the movie he believes will be his masterpiece.
Song Kang-Ho stars alongside Im Soo-jung, who previously appeared in Kiom Jee-Woon's "A Tale of Two Sisters", Oh Jung-se, Jeon Yeo-been, and Jung Soo-jung. This is the fifth collaboration with director Kim Jee-woon and actor Song Kang-Ho having previously worked together on "The Quiet Family", "The Foul King", "The Good, The Bad, and The Weird" and "The Age of Shadows".
In the 1970s, Director Kim is obsessed by the desire to re-shoot the ending of his completed film 'Cobweb', but chaos and turmoil grip the set with interference from the censorship authorities, and the complaints of actors and producers who can't understand the re-written ending. Will Kim be able to find a way through this chaos to fulfill his artistic ambitions and complete his masterpiece?
