Keep There is one reliable source/review, Variety, according to Derek Elley of Variety (who gave a mixed review), "A decent movie lies at the heart of the romantic drama "Interview," an over-long feature debut by Daniel H. Byun that suffers from a bad case of first-film-itis". But, I'm so sorry, there are clearly no more reliable sources or reviews and I don't think this page will be removed. No, don't do that. It's part of the Dogme 95 films as well as Byun's film debut and I can improve that page at all. What about Gay Galician Dogma trilogy, which directs Once Upon Another Time (2000; Dogme #22), Wedding Days (2002; Dogme #30), and The Outcome (2005; Dogme #31) by Juan Pinzas. Three of them are almost empty and left for dead for ten years with/without reliable sources, but I am the one who can nearly improve yesterday. How is that?

Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.

  The film review notes, "A decent movie lies at the heart of the romantic drama “Interview,” an over-long feature debut by Daniel H. Byun that suffers from a bad case of first-film-itis. Attempting to cram in everything except the Meaning of Life, Byun alienates the viewer from pic’s undoubted strengths and emphasizes its pretentious weaknesses. Unfortunately, the film is being marketed internationally in a discursive two-hour-plus version, which is a serious mistake."

  The article notes from Google Translate: "A unique Korean movie that should be seen and felt rather than read and understood has emerged. It is 'The Interview' (produced by Cine2000, directed by Byun Hyuk), starring Shim Eun-ha and Lee Jung-jae. 'The Interview', which started previewing ahead of its release on the 1st of next month, is gathering an extraordinary topic among filmmakers. 'Interview' was a work that drew the attention of filmmakers from the production process because of its unique material and narrative structure."

  The article notes: "The latest batch offer mixed results. Korean director Daniel H Byun's Dogme#7: Interview manages to violate a fistful of rules within its first five minutes, cramming in dolly shots, moody lighting, a director's credit and a tinkling score as if purposefully endeavouring to fail the audition. Worse, the plot is a lot of self- conscious maundering about a film student's romantic obsessions. For this viewer, Dogme films should be as uncouth as possible, as in parts of Festen and all of The Idiots."

  The article notes: "Shooting on Byun's debut feature, "Interview," began in September and takes him to France — where Byun studied at the film school FEMIS — for some lensing this month. ... "Interview" is budgeted at $2 million, utilizing digital video and 35mm for the story within a story of a director interviewing people about the intimate details of their lives."

  The book notes: "Other international Dogma films are registered by the Dogma secretariat at Nimbus film (see Dogma95). Daniel H. Byun's South Korean Interview (2000, Intyebyo). The film does not explicitly mention that it is registered as Dogma 7 (originally Dogma 7 referred to a scheduled German film, Broken Cookies, that Udo Kier should have directed; the film was never realized). Interview is a long-winded story about making a documentary about love. It is full of metaelements like scenes of filming (for example, by Tarkovsky's grave in Paris), interview situations, and video recordings (including one that uses forbidden background music)."

  The book notes: "More daringly, Interview (Daniel H. Byun, 2000) leaps between registers of past, present, and conditional, where some narrative may be fantasy or otherwise difficult to place within a coherent story outline."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Interview (Korean: 인터뷰; RR: Inteobyu) to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
