20th Anniversary Talk for "Tazza": Director Reveals the Meaning Behind the Final Scene

A special event was held at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the film "Tazza".

Actor Yoo Hae-jin said that when he thinks of his representative works, the character Go Gwang-ryeol from "Tazza" is the first one that comes to mind.

Last Saturday, director Choi Dong-hoon and actor Yoo Hae-jin met with the audience at the Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival.

Yoo, who played Go Gwang-ryeol, a character who sweeps through gambling dens across the country alongside the protagonist Goni, said that when he was filming "Tazza," his position as an actor and everything else felt unstable, but that he began to see a path forward after the film.

That is why he thinks about the character Go Gwang-ryeol even more.

He also shared that he has fond memories of constantly being together with Cho Seung-woo, who played Goni.

Director Choi Dong-hoon also explained the final scene where Goni picks up a payphone receiver.

He said he is often asked who Goni is calling, and he answered that he is calling Go Gwang-ryeol, adding that he liked it better when the part showing the actual phone call was removed because it made the ending feel more incomplete.
