	UNTOLD SCANDAL (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Untold Scandal, the latest screen adaptation of Choderlos de Laclos' novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses is a stylish, cool and detached interpretation of an overworked text.
		The most recent film version of the novel was 1999's ridiculous teen-tease flick Cruel Intentions, which tried to update the Victorian soap opera with a "Girls Gone Wild on the Upper East Side" mentality.
		The film is edited and strung together with a continuous series of slow, lengthy camera pans and sweeps that finally come to rest on characters whose conversations have already begun offscreen.

	Scandal (1950) \| The Stop Button \| Andrew Wickliffe
		Scandal is really early, so Kurosawa hadn’t gone over to scope yet and watching the film, one can see him pushing the frame.
		Since Scandal is so early, since the story is so traditional (a magazine slanders a romantically innocent pair of celebrities), and since Mifune is such a traditional leading man, it’s shocking when Kurosawa breaks the film out of the traditional form.
		The film was available on VHS in the States, from Criterion’s parent company’s VHS arm, so maybe there’s a nice region 1 edition in the works.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Douglas Sirk: A Scandal in Paris
		Scandal shows what Sirk was capable of in a different mode than his fans are accustomed to, using a classical narrative and superb collaborators, with no need to undermine or mock material he felt was unworthy of his talents.
		Sirk’s staging of the film’s one musical number is startling in its expressionism: Landis is seen in silhouette behind a large round screen, which she sets on fire.
		The comedy of the film ranges from the high- to the lowbrow, from Vidocq’s unerring wit and the constant betrayals and forgiveness, to the antics of "Satan the Monkey" and the Old World low jinks of Emile’s family of comic cutthroats and thieves.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Rare Akira Kurosawa films
		She keeps the film from becoming a total exercise in gloom, and suggests at least some possibility for renewal — escape from the cesspool and all that it implies — in the younger generation.
		Scandal is ultimately Kurosawa Lite, but engaging and amusing in its picture of a voyeuristic society obsessed with the minutiae — particularly sexual — of other people’s lives.
		From the opening sequence, it’s clear that the film wants to show that his fears are realistic and that, far from being incompetent, he may be the only sane person in a world that accepts the possibility of worldwide destruction.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: A Scandal in Paris
		In A Scandal in Paris, George Sanders' witty con man (who takes the name of François Eugène Vidocq from a gravestone) is allowed to choose the path of virtue, and because he's made to understand the implications of his sullied purity (through his romantic interest in a wide-eyed young woman), he ends up succeeding.
		In the film's key scene, she attempts to make a romantic pass at him by offering to be his partner in crime.
		It's probably safe to say that the earnest A Scandal in Paris won't ever approach the level of acceptance accorded to All That Heaven Allows and Imitation of Life in the world of postmodern cinephilia, but the finale isn't without a smidgen of Sirkian irony.

	An Interview with E J-yong
		The film was a critical and box-office hit, and also resurrected the career of actress Lee Mi-sook.
		Although not a commercial hit, the film played at several festivals and drew notice among academics for its portrayal of the interplay between Japanese, Chinese and Korean cultures.
		When I made my first film An Affair (pictured), I told my art director and set designer, "Let's make a film that won't look old-fashioned when we watch it ten years in the future." Korea changes so quickly, so when I see films that were made five years ago, they seem very out of date.

		The film "Scandal" is the story of the affair between Profumo and Keeler, but the focus is on the relationship between Dr Ward and Christine Keeler.
		The historic scandal that literally embarrassed during a decade the highest spheres of the British politic, was not more than a simple reflect of a state of things originated perhaps, by the collective reaction to forty years of war.
		Profumo's scandal was perhaps, the last downstairs push, a real shock for the Victorian gaze, a slap in the face of the body social that curiously assists to the birth of the British rock & roll.

	'Scandal' succeeds at b.o.
		The film's success comes after a trifecta of hits for CJ at the local box office this year: "My Tutor Friend," "Memories of Murder" and "My Wife Is a Gangster 2," which between them have grossed just more than $70 million.
		Directed by Min Byung-cheon, the film is set in 2080 and uses a raft of cutting-edge special effects, giving it one of the highest budgets yet seen for a Korean film: $7 million-$9 million.
		The other film is "Tae Guk Gi," based on the Korean war, and directed by major director Kang Je-gyu on a budget running as high as $12 million, the most expensive local film ever made to date.

		PR companies who are supposed to promote the film are also said to have called it a "publicity nightmare".
		The film, which is adapted from a short story, is about a sci-fi writer (Cusack) who adopts a six year old.

	Combustible Celluloid film review - Scandal (1989), Michael Caton-Jones, John Hurt, Joanne Whalley, dvd review
		Sometimes the typical workaday film director can go unnoticed in this world of first-timers and "auteurs." Many of these directors turn in film after film, and though they may be undistinguished or impersonal, you can almost always count on a certain mark of quality.
		Scandal was supposed to have caused an uproar when it was first released in 1989, not only because it depicted the events that caused the fall of the conservative party in England in the early 60's, but because it contained a great deal of nudity and sexuality.
		Scandal moves with perfect pace and seems to contain throwaway scenes that serve no purpose except for deepening the characters (which I love).

	Akira Kurosawa's - Scandal - Shubun - Sukyandaru - DVD Review Akira Kurosawa Scandal - Shubun - Sukyandaru - DVD Review ...
		Akira Kurosawa's Scandal — as relevant now as when made — is a pointed attack on the rising power of the press and their practices in the newly-Americanized postwar Japan of 1950.
		Stirred to broaden his film's scope, Kurosawa made the film a study of personal honour, one which highlights the need for ordinary individuals to speak out against injustice and corruption.
		Scandal stars many great Japanese actors of the time including Noriko Sengoku (Drunken Angel, Seven Samurai) and Takashi Shimura (Ikiru, Seven Samurai), who delivers one of his finest performances as the defense lawyer emotionally torn between right and wrong.

	New York State Writers Institute - Untold Scandal Film Notes (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Untold Scandal is sly and subtle, a chamber drama of sexual intrigue.
		It is set in the late Chosun period in 19th century Korea, in what film critic Ed Park evocatively calls "the lacquered mansions and flowering pleasure grounds" of the well-to-do.
		Director/screenwriter E. J-yong melds Korean and 18th century French music in the film's underscore, and the introduction of missionary Catholicism adds a light touch of social criticism to the film, a moment of political sincerity in a film which is otherwise gorgeously jaded.

		Scandal could be considered the last film of Akira Kurosawa's early career, and in part a thematic rehearsal for his next film, the internationally successful Rashomon.
		Scandal is more generically melodramatic, but like Rashomon it deals in the nature of truth and the consequences of falsehood.
		Still, this is a splendid film, rich with detail about postwar Japan and blessed by an abundance of superb performances, most notably that of Shimura, who would later achieve greater prominence in Ikiru and Seven Samurai.

		All of this week's other films are remakes, sequels or in some way derivative, the best of them being E J-Yong's Untold Scandal, a Korean version of Laclos's epistolary novel, Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
		In this beautiful film, which combines subtle hues and bright colours to dramatic effect, the French conspirators, Valmont and Juliette de Merteuil, have become the aristocratic libertine Jo-Won, an aesthete who has turned seduction into an art, and his embittered cousin, Lady Cho.
		The victims of their attentions are the virginal Lee So-ok, soon to be the new concubine of Lady Cho's husband, and the chaste widow, Lady Sook, a convert to Catholicism, a religion proscribed by the declining Chosun dynasty.

	Korean Movie Reviews for 2003: Save the Green Planet, Memories of Murder, A Tale of Two Sisters, Old Boy, Silmido, and ...
		The film is weighed down by so many plot twists and scenes that are meant to both moving and surprising, that at the end one just feels relief that it has finally ground to a close.
		The film is at heart a Buddhist fable, one of the strongest sub-genres in the "art-house" end of Korean cinema, and it is moderately interesting from that vintage point.
		Acacia is a perfect horror film for those who dislike the horror genre, bemoan the sensationalism of garden-variety horror films and are on the lookout for a "meaningful" example that "transcends the limitations" of the genre.

	Scandal (1989) - Channel 4 Film review
		At the heart of director Caton-Jones's film is Hurt and his strange, quasi-paternal relationship with Whalley-Kilmer.
		But the ruthlessness of the media investigation and the speed with which his new best friends disown him suggest that Ward was a victim of his good nature.
		Caton-Jones evokes the bars and clubs of swinging London with great panache, and though much was made of the film's explicit content (see what the censors did) there's nothing prurient here.

	WorldNetDaily: Clinton blood scandal exposed in new film
		The film, which premieres at the prestigious American Film Institute film festival next Tuesday, reportedly uncovers fresh evidence about how thousands in Europe contracted AIDS and hepatitis through tainted blood deliberately shipped even after widespread problems were discovered in Canada where some 10,000 had already been infected.
		Suzi Parker, writing in Salon.com, described how the scandal unfolded: "At the Cummins Unit of the Arkansas penal system during the 1980s, while President Clinton was still governor, inmates would regularly cross the prison hospital's threshold to give blood, lured by the prospect of receiving $7 a pint.
		The ritual was creepy to behold: Platoons of prisoners lying supine on rows of cots, waiting for the needle-wielding prisoner orderly to puncture a vein and watch the clear bags fill with blood.

	Scandal Film Review - Time Out Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Caton-Jones' first feature is a serious, almost low-key affair, strong on period detail and imbued with a sense of genuine outrage on behalf of both the ruined Stephen Ward (Hurt) and the deranged and derailed Christine Keeler (Whalley-Kilmer) which lifts it above the merely exploitative.
		Others must decide on the propriety of this cinematic exhumation; for those who weren't around at the time of the scandal in the early '60s, and even for those who were, it certainly makes dismaying if illuminating viewing.

	DVD Times - Untold Scandal
		Rather like the earlier film, where Untold Scandal succeeds is in juxtaposing the stiffness and formality of the period setting with the eroticism of the sex scenes — the Korean film even more sexually explicit than any other version of the story I have seen.
		Where the film does make its own mark is in the elegant and striking set and costume design, the bold colour schemes and the exquisite framing of the photography.
		Untold Scandal doesn’t add any new or fresh interpretation onto a classic story, but its considerable success in Korea demonstrates that, regardless of the setting, period or culture, its themes are no less relevant and powerful to a modern audience.
