Shamanism is a practice that is deeply embedded into South Korean culture for centuries. Often seen in effect in horror films dealing in the supernatural, very few films tap into the stories of the shamans themselves and how they become a shaman, specially in the modern age. That is exactly what first-time feature director Lee Han-jong attempts to do with “Daemuga”, a production that was near release in 2020 but had to be delayed due to the pandemic.
Daemuga is screening at Busan International Film Festival
Split into four parts, “Daemuga” is the story of three shamans and one district redevelopment project. Sin-nam is a trainee shaman who doesn’t really have any psychic powers and bluffs his way into clients, when he meets a woman who wants a good shaman to help her talk to her deceased father. Eager to get the client who is ready to pay big money,...
