[KS] Korean movies - suggestions

[Mark Morris]

Matt’s list is spot on. I’ll add that the UK DVD of IM Sang-soo’s
<그때 그사람들> ‘The President’s Last Bang’ has the restored cuts
at beginning and end, and they really do make a difference.

    (Lee man-hee’s ‘The Road to Sampo’ has a ‘happy end’ ending insisted on
by
the producers to get past the 1970s censors. Almost interesting in its
awfulness.
On KOFA DVD.)

Good luck
