Choo Ah-young's Music Box: How 'Marty Supreme' and 1980s New Wave Lay Bare Capitalism's Script

Choo Ah-young's Music Box: How 'Marty Supreme' and 1980s New Wave Lay Bare Capitalism's Script

Review: Kim Min-ha Leads ‘Hana Korea,’ as Cast and Filmmakers Discuss the Film at Seoul Press Event

〈Hana Korea〉 tells one of Korean cinema’s most familiar stories in one of its most unfamiliar forms: a film by a Danish director, set in Seoul, about a North Korean defector. At times it unfolds like a Scandinavian film, yet its setting and faces are unmistakably Seoul, with Kim Min‑ha at the...
