The great Choi Min-sik was on hand to take early headlines at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival .
The festival also does reliable — in its own way – as it plays up to its “stay strange” mantra, cooperates with other festivals of a similar fantasy leaning and sidesteps the political infighting that currently bedevil Korea’s best-known festivals.
