Actor and director Lee Hee-joon meets the audience as a director, not an actor.

The movie 'Rectangular, Triangular' directed by Lee Hee-jun will be released on the 21st.

The movie "Rectangular, Triangular" is a story about a long-standing conflict that occurs one by one at a family gathering for good. Through this work, Lee Hee-jun noted how the most familiar relationship of family has different faces depending on the situation and perspective.

Rectangle, Triangle is Lee Hee-jun's second production. If the first production of "Byeonghun's Day" (2018) started from personal experience, this work takes a more universal relationship of family as the subject. He, who has acted as an actor and has played numerous relationships and emotional cracks, tried to capture everyday conflicts in everyday relationships beyond the story of a specific individual.

The starting point of the direction was interested in the structure of dialogue and conflict between characters within a space. Lee Hee-jun said, "I wanted to make a movie about a Korean family that takes place in one space like Roman Polanski's movie God of Genocide." Here, I recall Monk Beopryun's immediate story that depending on the direction of folding the paper, it can be seen as a rectangle or a triangle, and the concept that the same event can be recognized in a completely different meaning depending on the position in which it is viewed was used as the central setting of the work.

In order to realize this structure, Lee Hee-jun put the actors' preliminary preparation process above all else. Due to the nature of the work, several characters appear at the same time and the lines are constantly continuing, rehearsals were held with actors for a week before filming to maintain the rhythm and emotional flow of the scene. Through repeated practice, all actors worked on filming with the entire dialogue and the structure of the scene shared.

Lee Hee-jun, who has experienced various scenes as an actor, composed the story from a perspective that he has long been interested in through "rectangle, triangle." The film, which was first recognized for its cinematic quality through the official invitation of the 26th Jeonju International Film Festival, will pose another question to the audience, capturing the conflicts and misunderstandings within the closest relationship with Lee Hee-joon's own distant gaze.

"Rectangular, Triangular" will be released on the 21st.
