Interview (Korean: 인터뷰; RR: Inteobyu) is a 2000 South Korean romantic drama film directed and co-written by La Femis-graduate and academic Daniel H. Byun.[1][2] As of 2005, it is the first and only Asian feature-length film ever produced to follow Danish's avant-garde movement Dogme 95, and the seventh film officially produced in Dogme (known as Dogme #7 - Interview).[3][4]
This was Hyun's feature-length directorial debut and Eun-ha's last feature-length film before the latter's retirement in the same year.[5][6]
Plot[edit]
The story is about Eun-seok (Lee Jung-jae), who is pretending to make a documentary about love after involves a young woman Young-hee (Shim Eun-ha), who works as a beauty assistant, found in a tape filmed by Seok's assistant director Min-su (Kim Jung-hyun). Yeong-hee tells the story of her boyfriend who went to her bag. Eun-seok, who pays attention to her Young-hee, continues to capture her on her camera. Young-hee rejects Eun-seok's request to take a picture of her hairdresser, but she allows her to accompany her to visit her boyfriend instead. However, returning from a short trip, Eun-seok runs down the Han River as if desperate for something. The film then moves to Paris one year before the interview. Eun-seok, who later became a film student, receives a request to film a rehearsal for Korean dancer's performance, and captures the passionate dance of two men and women on his camera.

Dogme 95[edit]
As of 2006, ousted of the thirty-four films were produced only in the USA and European countries using the Dogme 95 movement before the dissolution in 2005; Interview was released in April 1, 2000, being the first and to date only Asian as well as the first South Korean film ever using the movement, also being the seventh Dogme film, who were complimented by Thomas Vinterberg and Lars von Trier, although it was severely criticized and failed to gain popularity by local audiences due of its cryptic development of the story.[7][8]
Reception[edit]
Derek Elley of Variety, who gave a mixed review of this film, saying: "A decent movie lies at the heart of the romantic drama "Interview," an over-long feature debut by Daniel H. Byun that suffers from a bad case of first-film-itis. Attempting to cram in everything except the Meaning of Life, Byun alienates the viewer from pic's undoubted strengths and emphasizes its pretentious weaknesses. Unfortunately, the film is being marketed internationally in a discursive two-hour-plus version, which is a serious mistake".[4]
