Korean Cinema’s Celluloid Fever: The 1970s
May 15 - 26
Carried by one of the great Korean pop soundtracks, Lee Jang-ho’s debut, following an ordinary young woman whose serial betrayals by men push her toward the bar hostess life, broke Korean box office records and launched a generation.
The film that broke Korean box office records and launched a generation. Lee Jang-ho’s debut arrived at the moment when youth culture, acoustic guitars, blue jeans, and draft beer were reshaping Korean urban life under the Yushin dictatorship. Based on Choi In-ho’s sensation of a serialized novel, it follows an ordinary young woman whose serial betrayals by men push her toward the bar hostess life. Lee infuses the melodrama with jagged editing, pop songs, and documentary-like glimpses of the city’s underbelly—an indictment of industrialization and the human wreckage capitalism leaves behind, carried by one of the great Korean pop soundtracks, featuring Lee Jang-hee’s songs that became instant anthems. An In-sook is heartbreaking in the lead role, and Shin Sung-il smolders as the painter who watches it all happen. Restored in 2015 by the Korean Film Archive.
