The story: It is the 1970s and movie director Kim Yeol has wrapped filming on his latest work Cobweb, when he is gripped by a vision of a powerful new ending for the story. With a new screenplay in hand, he fights to get a reshoot. Producers and studio executives consider his idea an expensive vanity-driven mistake, as do his lead actor Kang Ho-se and actress Han Yu-rim . Government film censors reject his new text, saying it will corrupt public morals.

His latest work casts a satirical eye on the movie industry, which he portrays as filled with phoneys, bureaucrats and jealous hacks who call themselves movie critics. The naming is probably intended as a joke because, in this story, the reluctant actors who return for the reshoot appear to be playing characters who echo some aspect of their lives.

In the South Korean movie business of the 1970s, there were no rock stars or inconvenient drug overdoses, but if Cobweb is correct, it was a time when profits were surging and studio bosses ran roughshod over artists. The creative people had to be crafty to beat the system.The story does not contain major twists, but there is great satisfaction to be had in the way it reveals fresh information about characters and their true motivations.
