Classic Movie Night at The Korea Society
Netflix doesn't stock your favorite Korean films? Your local video store clerk doesn't know Shin Sang-Ok from Park Kwang-Soo? The Korea Society's Classic Movie Night is your answer. On the third Thursday of each month, The Korea Society will be screening Korean films from the 1960s to the 1990s in the second season of its Classic Movie Night series.
This month, on April 17 at 6:30PM, we will be screening Kim Ho-seon's Young-ja’s Heyday. A colorful melodrama of lust and innocence lost, Young-ja’s Heyday was a box-office hit and serves as a flamboyant introduction to a key Korean genre: the hostess film. Told through the reminiscences of an old flame, this cautionary tale of a woman’s tragic moral and physical downfall has drawn comparisons with Kenji Mizoguchi’s elegiac films which also focus on unhappy and exploited women. Starring Yeom Bok-sun, Song Jae-ho, Choi Bul-am. (1975, 107 minutes)
Classic Movie Night films will be screened at The Korea Society in midtown Manhattan (950 Third Avenue@ 57th Street, 8th Floor). Tickets are available for $5 (members) and $10 (non-members) at www.koreasociety.org. A brief lecture on the film and refreshments will be provided.
For more information, contact Yuni Cho at (212) 759-7525, ext. 323 or yuni.ny@koreasociety.org. To become a member of The Korea Society, please visit www.koreasociety.org.
