IFC Midnight Goes Erotic With Korean Drama

IFC Midnight has acquired the North American rights to THE TASTE OF MONEY from celebrated Korean writer-director Im Sang-soo that premiered last month in competition at the Cannes Film Festival. The film centers on the sexual desires and power struggles in a rich Korean family, with themes similar to the director’s previous film THE HOUSEMAID, also handled in the United States by IFC Films. “THE TASTE OF MONEY is Im’s most decadent and sensual film yet, while also a smart commentary on the lives of the rich and famous,” said Sundance Selects/IFC president Jonathan Sehring in a release announcing the acquisition.
