MY WAY Coming To Theaters On April 20th

After world premiering at the 2012 Berlin Film Festival, MY WAY opens theatrically in NY and LA on April 20 and will expand to additional cities on May 4th. MY WAY, an epic telling of a WWII story that no one has ever heard before, is the latest film from Korea’s game-changing Director Jegyu Kang.

After emerging as bitter rivals and enemies as young marathon runners, Korean native Kim Jun-shik and Japanese aristocrat Tatsuo Hasegawa both find themselves in the Japanese army, fighting the Chinese and Soviets in a bloody battle. Jun-shik is there under duress, while Tatsuo is a powerful colonel.  After both are taken prisoner by the Soviets, their mutual hatred and mistrust boils over into a violence that is only stopped by the continuing horror of the war.  Forced to fight for the Soviets, the two eventually rely on each other for survival, making it to Germany, where they are in turn separated and forced to fight for the Nazis. They meet again at Normandy Beach, both unlikely survivors, bonded together by history as they struggle to survive one more terrible battle as the Allies arrive on D-Day.

International audiences are used to seeing World War II from the side of the Allies: award-winning films such as “Patton” and “Saving Private Ryan” have helped to define the genre by offering compelling battle sequences alongside rich characterization. More recently, in Clint Eastwood’s “Flags of Our Fathers” and “Letters from Iwo Jima,” the war has been considered from multiple perspectives, as a single battle was presented from both the American and Japanese perspective.

Now comes the most expensive film ever produced in Korea, from Kang Je-kyu, one of the nation’s most acclaimed and successful directors. MY WAY tells the story of the war from the most unlikely of perspectives, as a backdrop against the bitter rivalry that evolves into a powerful friendship between a Korean and Japanese soldier. With battle sequences that rival any found in a Hollywood film, an international cast, and a story that covers a decade across two continents, MY WAY is a thrilling and consuming drama that transcends borders and nationality, revealing the horror of war and the power of hope.
