Fathers on Screen—Korean Movie Night New York

Co-presented by Korean Cultural Service NY and Asia Society

Korean Movie Night New York series:

Fathers on Screen (Feb. 9 – Mar. 31, 2015)

The popular, ongoing Korean Movie Night New York kicks off 2015 with the series “Fathers on Screen,” which explores different types of Korean father figures, both positive and negative, as they have been shaped by the cultural and socio-economic conditions in contemporary Korea: a hard-working, devoted family man in ODE TO MY FATHER, an authoritarian and cold-blooded murderer in HWAYI, a vengeful vigilante in BROKEN and a heroic ex-firefighter forced to commit non-heroic acts in GUARDIAN.

North American premiere
BROKEN
방황하는 칼날 Bang-hwang-ha-neun-kal-nal
Directed by LEE Jeong-ho
Starring: JUNG Jae-young, LEE sung-min
2014. South Korea. 122 min. DCP. In Korean with English subtitles.
Tuesday, March 17, 2015, 6:30 pm

An adaptation of the Japanese novel The Hovering Blade by Keigo Higashino, BROKEN is an emotional revenge thriller about a widowed father (JUNG Jae-young) who takes the law into his own hands, as he hunts down the fugitives who had raped and killed his daughter, while on the run from the cops. JUNG Jae-young (starring in CONFESSION OF MURDER, THE FATAL ENCOUNTER) gives a powerhouse performance as the father, making BROKEN unique among recent crop of Korean thrillers as “a gripping portrait of a father’s grief.” (Los Angeles Times)

Korean Movie Night New York is an ongoing, twice-a-month film program that introduces the full spectrum of contemporary and classic Korean cinema to New York audiences, from popular blockbusters, independent films and documentaries to animation and family movies.
