Mānoa Campus, Center for Korean Studies

The Center for Korean Studies fall film series presents a showing of My Love, Don’t Cross That River (님아 그 강을 건너지 마오), a 2016 release directed by Jin Moyoung. The fall film series is offering filmic portrayals of the elderly in South Korea. My Love, Don't Cross That River centers on a couple that has been married for seventy-six years. ­Wherever they go, they dress in matching traditional Korean hanbok outfits and hold hands, behaving as though there were newly­weds. Eventually the husband grows weaker and weaker. His wife senses that she will soon be alone and prepares a farewell. Center for Korean Studies screenings are free and open to all. Korean films are shown with English subtitles.
