The concept of a movie within a movie is hardly new. From Tropic Thunder to the Scream franchise, and even miniseries like Irma Vep, we're operating on well-trodden ground. Films of this sort are more about the act of filmmaking, the interpersonal relationships between the cast and crew, than the fictional film. Cobweb is director Kim Jee-woon's addition to this specific sub-genre.
There Is a Lot Going on in 'Cobweb' Stylized in black and white, the fictional "Cobweb" film is a soapy tale about romance, infidelity, greed, and violence. But what's happening behind the camera is far more entertaining, if a bit convoluted.
'Cobweb' Is Best When It's Funny Therefore, the best aspect of Cobweb is not its central plot, but rather the way it uses humor and satire. Song is a fitting cast for Kim, able to both embody the obsessiveness of the director while also blending in comedy and wry delivery. Besides Song, Krystal Jung's Han Yu-rim is also a stand-out performance.
Alongside Song and Jung is Jeon Yeo-been playing Shin Mi-do. Her dedication to Director Kim's vision leads to one of the funniest scenes in the film where Mi-do tries to stand in for an actor who is being difficult but falls woefully short of making the scene work with her mediocre skills. These are the moments when Cobweb is most entertaining and silly.
