Broker with Bae Doona | Picturehouse

<p>Sam Clements speaks to actor Bae Doona, star of Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Broker - in cinemas now.</p> <p>Bae Doona’s answers are translated by Seh Hyun Rho. </p> <p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Heartwarming, funny and moving, BROKER is the outstanding new film from Hirokazu Kore-eda, the acclaimed director of Shoplifters.</p> <p> </p> <p>If you'd like to send us a voice memo for use in a future episode, please email <a href='mailto:podcast@picturehouses.co.uk'>podcast@picturehouses.co.uk</a>.</p> <p>Subscribe on <a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-love-of-cinema/id393128786'>Apple Podcasts</a>.
