Introduced to IFFR through splendid low-budget arthouse films A Great
Actor (IFFR 2006) and The Russian Novel (IFFR 2013), filmmaker Shin
Yeon-Shick shows off his creative range with One Win.
Let the
enthralling match sequences toss you onto the court and into the heat of
the volleyball game. Meet the two league outcasts: Kim Woo-jin
(Parasite's Song Kang-ho, as fantastic as ever) who now can’t even coach
kids nor the whole women’s volleyball team, Pink Storm. They’ve been
brought together by an eccentric super-young entrepreneur, who needs a
super-underdog story to play his super-PR game. Little does he know that
this might be the best smash pass of his life.
With some nods to,
and the emotional drive of the Rocky series (1976-2006), One Win builds
up a sports drama that serves up some well-played comments on coaching
and management. Coach Kim inspires the Pink Storm players to know and
believe in their own strengths and capacities. But will that be enough
for them to win? Or will they enter history the same way as Rocky
Balboa? Marrying the heartfelt emotion of a sports drama and comedy in
an old-school way, One Win serves a story that will get you up and
cheering.
