Heart of Snow, Heart of Blood
(KIM Soyoung, 2014, 100 min, S. Korea, in Russian, Koryo, and Korean w/ subtitles)
Heart of Snow, Heart of Blood tells of the tragic deportations of Soviet ethnic Koreans to Central Asia under Stalin in 1937, their resilience under the harshest of conditions, and their lives today in a world shaped by migration, repatriation, and the desire to simply stay put.
[NB: Goodbye My Love North Korea will no longer be shown.]
A recently released patient from a mental institution returns home with her sister, only to face disturbing events between her stepmother and the ghosts haunting their house- all of which are connected to a dark past in the family’s history.
–Q&A w/ filmmaker Kim Ji-Woon
A rip-roaring update of classic widescreen Spaghetti Westerns, this action extravaganza of lawless 1930s Manchuria centers upon three strangers who meet fatefully on a train: an implacable bounty hunter (Jung Woo-sung), the merciless leader of a group of bandits (Lee Byung-hun) and a robber with nine lives (Song Kang-ho).
–Q&A to follow w/ filmmaker Kim Ji-Woon
-- Preceded by a reception w/ Kim Ji-woon, from 5:30pm-7pm in Studio C2-131, Rubenstein Arts Center
