[KS] Korean films dealing with int'l relations?

[Todd Henry]

As for Korean films that relate to Japan, may I suggest the various colonial 
period films in the three sets released by the Korean Film Archive:

As for more contemporary feature films (many of 
which also deal with Japanese colonialism), we have "2009 Lost Memories," "YMCA 
Baseball Club," "Once Upon a Time," "Radio Days," "Modern Boy," "The Korean 
Peninsula," "Epitaph," and "Asako in Ruby Shoes," to name a few.

 

As for documentaries, I recommend "Annyong, 
Sayonara" and "Choi Sunghee: The Korean Dancer," both available on 
DVD.
