Help! Looking for the name of a film, I am fuzzy on details, and may be combining aspects from more than one movie in my faulty recollections, but I think: it’s from the 90s or early 00s, set in an Asian country, (Japanese or Korean or Chinese or ??), takes place in a university or fine arts or drama school, the students are making a film, and one or more deaths occur, possibly of an older person towards the end of the movie. 🥴 Any leads would be appreciated!
