Overview
- July Jung’s third feature, officially invited Tuesday, will have its world premiere in Directors’ Fortnight next month alongside the May 13–23 Cannes festival.
- Directors’ Fortnight artistic director Julien Rejl described the film as a very free, contemporary adaptation of Freud’s 1900 Dora case study.
- The cast pairs K-pop–turned–actor Kim Do-yeon, who won Blue Dragon best new actress last year, with Japan’s Sakura Ando in her first Korean production.
- Press materials describe the project as a France–South Korea–Luxembourg co-production, a setup that often helps festival positioning and distribution.
- This marks Jung’s third Cannes invite across three features, and the Fortnight is a noncompetitive showcase launched in 1969.
