If you loved The Face Reader, try The Fortress
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to The Face Reader, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Fortress is
You rule ancient Korea, but foreign forces invade, and then your court flees to a mountain fortress. The Qing army surrounds it, and Hwang Dong-hyuk directs this siege.
