Stoker with director Park Chan-wook in person

Dir. Park Chan-wook, 2013, 98 mins. DCP courtesy of Fox Searchlight. With Mia Wasikowska, Nicole Kidman, Matthew Goode. Stoker, the eagerly awaited new film by cult-favorite Korean director Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Lady Vengeance, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance), is an English-language thriller rife with the sort of style and atmosphere that makes his other movies nothing short of modern classics of the genre. In the film, India (Mia Wasikowska), upon the death of her father, finds herself sharing a Southern gothic mansion with her mother (Nicole Kidman) and her mysterious-yet-charming Uncle Charlie. This special screening, followed by a discussion with Park Chan-wook, precedes a retrospective of Park’s films from March 1–3, 2013, presented in collaboration with The Korea Society.
