탐정추리 faction은 다빈치 코드로 충분하다. 이런 스타일 별로 좋아하지 않음. ㅎㅎ;;
그래도 사라진 유적/미술품과 그 배후에 관한 이야기는 굉장히 흥미로웠다 -- 실제로 호박방은 WWII이후에 자취를 감추었고 지금까지 행방이 묘연함.
가끔 신문에 도난 당한 작품들에 대한 기사가 나오는데 그런 작품들은 결국 누구 손에 들어가는걸까? 사라진 그림들이 다시 세상의 빛을 볼 날이 올까? 그리고 훔쳐달라고 청탁을 했건 black market에서 사들였건 그렇게 큰 돈을 주고 미술품을 사는 사람들은 누구인지 궁금하다 -- 성 같은 저택 비밀방에 모셔놓고 혼자 보며 흐뭇해할 그들은 욕심쟁이, 우후훗>_<;;;; 도대체 누구네 집 벽에 걸려있거냐구. 근데 솔직히 쫌 부럽다. 보고싶을 때 언제든지 볼 수 있잖아. 미술관까지 안 가도 되고, 사람들에 치이지 않아도 되고.. 울 집에 가져오고 싶은 그림 두 점: Klimt's Adele Bloch-Bauer 그리고 Rachel Ruysch's Flowers in a Glass Vase. 직접 보니까 너무 좋드라.. 매일매일, 하루 죙일 보고싶을만큼..ㅜ_ㅜ
영화에나 있을 법한 이야기는 실제로 벌어진다. 드라마보다 드라마틱한 세상이니깐..

Kim Ki-Duk Restrospective
April 23–May 8, 2008
The Department of Film presents the first complete U.S. retrospective of writer-director Kim Ki-Duk (b. 1960, Bonghwa), a self-taught maverick Korean filmmaker whose work has enriched international cinema with its luminous intensity. This fourteen-film exhibition includes several features never before seen in the U.S., giving audiences a rare chance to chart the development of the director's sensuous, sensational imagery and wild and haunting narratives.
Kim Ki-Duk was a factory worker, soldier, priest-in-training, and, between 1992 and 1995, a street artist in France, where he discovered cinema through films like Leos Carax's Les amants de Pont-Neuf and Jonathan Demme's The Silence of the Lambs (both 1991). After winning a screenwriting competition in Korea, Kim was able to make, without any formal training, his first feature, Crocodile (1996). Kim's debut film, long out of circulation, heralded the arrival of a furious young self-taught talent with a vision that, brutal though it is, is grounded in redemption. Over the next eleven years, thirteen more films followed, including three of his best-known films in the United States, the libidinous The Isle (2000), the Buddhist-inflected Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (2003), and an elliptical treatise on invisibility, 3-Iron (2004).
Kim's films cohere into a vivid and compelling body of work characterized by sweeping camera movements and long, richly composed shots. They are populated by characters, uneasy in their social situations, who adopt silence as a protection and whose reactions tend to be brutal; what distinguishes these narratives is what follows this savagery. His films take place in a world sometimes circumscribed by water, but always situated in a cinematic space a couple of degrees sharper than reality. All films are directed by Kim, from South Korea, and in Korean with English subtitles, unless otherwise noted.

Working on disposable digital video let's you be a bit more lax because retakes cost you nothing but time, but also tend to sacrifice a sense and need for focus and foresight about what needs to be done.

If you’ve ever wondered why the Mona Lisa doesn't have any eyebrows, you can now get the answer at South Korea’s “Living Gallery”...from Mona Lisa herself!
STORY:
A South Korean gallery has
unveiled its "living paintings", whose characters are moving and
talking, thanks to recent Information Technology (IT).
62 masterpieces such as the "Mona Lisa", "The Last Supper" and "The Arnolfini Marriage" have come to life in a whole new way thanks to IT. Little children, who struggle to appreciate the value of art, can now understand those masterpieces in a fun and easy way by interacting with the characters in the paintings.
[Jung Hyun-hee, Kindergarten Teacher]:
"Children
used to get tired of watching paintings with boring explanations. Now
they are having so much fun here because they can actually interact
with the paintings. It's very different from other museums."
Asked by young visitors at the gallery
why she didn't have any eyebrows, a digitalized version of the Mona
Lisa responded: "During the Renaissance period, when I was living, wide
foreheads were regarded as an element of
beauty in women. So many women shaved their eyebrows to make their foreheads seem wider."
[Kim Hyun-jung, “Living Gallery” Public Relations Manager]:
"This
living gallery has a different concept of display from others. It
applies the domestic information technology to the masterpieces so that
those characters of the paintings can move vigorously, which is the
world's first case."
The gallery which opened in the Jamshil area of Seoul in March hopes to cast a new light on old art, inspiring the country's young.

i wonder why they did it.
i mean, who are these underground buyers and dealers?
what are they gonna do with the paintings?
hang them in your house for private viewing and enjoyment-_-?
in any case, these paintings (most likely) will not surface.
they will not be publicly shown anymore.
and that is sad.
on a positive note,
it's not like someone put the paintings on fire and burned them down to ashes..
at least these works are still 'alive' somewhere in the world..

i'm slowly finding my way.
i'm not sure if this is IT, yet.
i'm a little bit shaky and wobbly at the moment.
like you said, i'm feeling my way through.
but/and i have a feeling that this might be IT, and this could be IT.
i'll do my best.
i am sure of that.
If you want to know all about Andy Warhol, just look at the surface of my paintings and films and me, and there I am. There's nothing behind it.
