Korean movies will screen from September 1 to 17.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT The Hallyu wave has brought Korean entertainment and culture to Western shores more than ever before in recent years, thanks to the global expansion of Kpop and Kdramas. But the growth of Korean cinema began long before Parasite or even Old Boy, and Film at Lincoln Center has teamed up with Subway Cinema to spotlight a powerful time in the country's entertainment history.
Presented with English subtitles, and often on 35mm archival prints, the movies screening at Korean Cinema's Golden Decade: The 1960s reflect the country's rapid growth in the aftermath of the Korean War. The mix of genres and cinematic styles from auteur directors led to a boom in everything from melodramas to monster movies, and the innovations of this era reverberate in both Korean and global cinema today.
Lee Man-hee’s breakthrough feature, The Marines Who Never Returned, is simultaneously among his most acclaimed films and one of the greatest Korean War films ever made. Produced within 10 years of the armistice, the film centers on a squad of marines who happen across a newly orphaned girl in the battlefield, Young-hui. Taking her under their wings, the marines form a heartwarming bond with Young-hui that lifts their spirits as they take on increasingly dangerous odds.
Hong Gil-dong is an iconic figure in Korean literature and pop culture who first appeared in the mid-19th century as the protagonist of an adventure novel, The Story of Hong Gil-dong. So it’s no surprise that South Korea’s first animated feature film would center on Gil-dong, in this case in an adaptation by director Shin Dong-hun of his younger brother Shin Dong-woo’s popular manhwa Lucky Adventurer, Hong Gil-dong .
