A Case Study- “D-War”, a Korean film also released in the US market

March 23, 2008

D-War, directed by Korean director Shim Hyung-Rae, was released in South Korea and the US in 2007. D-War’s (poor) plot revolves around Korean mythology, but is set in modern Los Angeles, with a cast that mainly consists of Western actors.

So, is D-War a Korean or US film, if it attempts to portray parts of Korean culture/mythology in the US, and with a US cast?
