CKS Korean Film Series
November 1, 6:30pm - 8:30pmMānoa Campus, Center for Korean Studies Auditorium
This semester the Center for Korean Studies will be screening a series of Korean films from the 1960's and 1970's that highlight the quality and diversity of Golden Age Korean cinema and showcase the work of six of Korea's most talented directors. These six films embody a wide variety of genres including melodrama, horror, action, mystery, and suspense and are widely considered to be among the best Korean films ever made.Â
The fifth film in the series is Io Island; the most important of Kim Ki-young's 1970s films. Although it is ostensibly based on Lee Cheong-jun's novel of the same title, the movie departs completely from the original and unfolds an "aesthetic of mysticism" distinctive to Kim himself. Uncanny, primal imagery evocative of a surrealist atmosphere delivers a powerful impact in this film. It has a mystery structure similar to that of Citizen Kane: Chun Nam-suk's death is presented first, then the possible cause behind it is gradually revealed through Sun Wu-hyun's investigation. Sun traces the outlines of the victim's life through the women who have loved him.
