On December 11, according to South Korean media reports, Russian sources said that director Kim Kidd had passed away in Latvia.
In recent years, director Kim Kidd has frequently cooperated with the Russian film industry. Not only served as the chairman of the review committee for the Moscow Film Festival, but also shot Russian films in the local scene. This time the director went to Latvia with the purpose of buying real estate to obtain permanent residence. Unexpectedly, he was unfortunately infected with new coronary pneumonia, which caused complications during the treatment process, and eventually died, and his life ended in a foreign country.
Jin Jide had a poor family since he was a child, and after dropping out of technical secondary school, he went to work in the factory to make ends meet. He likes painting very much, but because of poverty, he can only study by himself. He has not received professional education in art and film in his life, and has become an excellent director with his outstanding artistic talent and strong self-learning ability. His works have been nominated for many international film festivals in Berlin, Cannes, Venice, etc., and he is a top Korean director.
Kim Kidd has tailored a film for the Chinese actor Zhang Zhen, in which Zhang Zhen played a death row prisoner. Knowing that there is not much life, she developed love with the woman who had an affair with her husband. This film has the director's personal style, and the psychological profile is very delicate. It was nominated for Cannes International Film Festival .
In recent years, Korean films have won many awards in the world. In addition to director Kim Ki-duk, more and more Korean directors have gone to the world. At the Oscars last year, director Feng Junhao's work won four awards, and the leading actor Song Kanghao won the best actor Oscar for this film. The death of director
Kim Kidd is undoubtedly a great loss for movies and movie fans. I wish him a good journey and rest in heaven.
