54th Korean Film Night

<Lovers in Woomukbaemi>

Film title: Lovers in Woomukbaemi
Director: Jang Sun-woo
Runtime: 118 mins
Venue: Multi-purpose Hall, Korean Cultural Centre
Time: Thursday 26th August, 7:00pm

The final film is one rarely seen in the UK, Lovers in Woomukbaemi.  A different type of film compared to Jang Sun-woo’s previously screened in this retrospective, Lovers has far more of a comedic touch to the subject.  Situated in a small town in South Korean it centres on a clothes factory manager and the triangular relationship between himself, his insatiably jealous and violent wife and one of his employees.  Each character helps to represent that thoughts, feelings and humour of the lower class at the time.  A hugely funny film yet not any less important than any of Jang Sun-woo’s other films.
