Sam Clements speaks to actor Bae Doona, star of Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Broker - in cinemas now.
Bae Doona’s answers are translated by Seh Hyun Rho.
On a rainy night in Busan, So-young (Lee ‘IU’ Ji-eun) leaves her baby Woo-sung outside a ‘baby box’, a safe place set up in Korean churches for new mothers to leave unwanted infants. Instead, he’s picked up by Sang-hyun (Parasite’s Song Kang-ho) who runs an unofficial adoption brokerage and plans to find him a new home.
So-young tracks down both Sang-hyun and his business partner Dong-soo (Gang Dong-won) and decides to join their pursuit (alongside a seven-year-old stowaway from a nearby orphanage), but as they search for Woo-sung’s new family, the unlikely group evolves into something of a family themselves – unaware they’re being tailed by two detectives (Bae Doona, Lee Joo-young) who are determined to stop them.
Heartwarming, funny and moving, BROKER is the outstanding new film from Hirokazu Kore-eda, the acclaimed director of Shoplifters.

Felicity Beckett speaks to director Florian Zeller about his new film, The Son, in cinemas now.
Peter (Hugh Jackman) is a successful Manhattan lawyer attempting to balance his chaotic life with his second wife and their newborn child. Past and present collide when his ex-wife Kate (Laura Dern) shows up – with their deeply troubled 17-year-old Nicholas son in tow. Peter strives to take care of Nicholas as he would have wanted his own father (Anthony Hopkins) to have taken care of him, but Nicholas’s emotional turmoil proves to be a greater, and far more painful, struggle than he anticipated.

Sam is joined by Tár writer and director Todd Field (Little Children).
Set in the international world of classical music, Academy Award-nominated director Todd Field returns with Tár: a portrait of Lydia Tár (Cate Blanchett). A world-renowned composer and conductor at the height of her career, her personal and professional life is suddenly disrupted by a series of inflammatory incidents – and Tár’s reputation for perfection means she cannot afford to make mistakes.
Dynamics of power, ego and artistry all come into play, all the while Tár is mere days away from recording a symphony that will define her work.
