The Chaser (koreanische OmeU) // 40. Fantasy Filmfest // Screen Legends
In the organizer's words:
This film is part of our SCREEN LEGENDS section.
The Chaser
Na Hong-jin’s Cannes sensation as the closing film of the Fantasy Filmfest! Sound like déjà vu? Absolutely! Before the director takes our breath away with HOPE, we’re bringing his legendary 2008 debut back to the big screen. The sweat-inducing thriller heavyweight THE CHASER is a physically grueling, bitterly sardonic rampage against time and inept bureaucracy. This nihilistic milestone of Korean cinema doesn’t just crown the genre—it punches it right in the face with full force.
When yet another of Joong-ho’s prostitutes goes missing, the pimp realizes that they all had the same last client. The case seems clear: The scumbag is reselling the girls for his own profit! But instead of the suspected human trafficking ring, Joong-ho comes face-to-face with the raw, psychopathic malice of a serial killer.

Na Hong-jin’s Cannes sensation as the closing film of the Fantasy Filmfest! Sound familiar? Absolutely! Before the director takes our breath away with HOPE, we’re bringing his legendary 2008 debut back to the big screen. THE CHASER is a sweat-soaked thriller heavyweight: a physically grueling race against time and inept bureaucracy, laced with bitter, sardonic humor. This nihilistic milestone of Korean cinema doesn’t merely crown the genre—it hits it square in the face with full force.
When yet another one of Joong-ho’s prostitutes disappears, the pimp realizes that they all had the same last customer. The case seems obvious: the bastard is selling the women off on his own! But instead of the suspected human trafficking ring, Joong-ho comes face to face with the raw, psychopathic evil of a serial killer.
