A Woman Judge (Eun-won, 1962): BFI Southbank, NFT2, 6.10pm
This film is part of the Golden Age of Korean Films season and also screens on November 9th and 18th. Full details here.
Tonight's screening will be introduced by season programmer Young Jin Eric Choi.
BFI introduction:
The second Korean feature by a female director, the drama portrays the
struggles of a newly appointed judge, who faces mounting pressure from
her jealous husband and his family to conform to the traditional
expectations of a housewife. Considered lost for more than 50 years,
this story of a fearless woman who fights against societal norms
reflects the career of the director, who broke through many boundaries
at the time. It has lost none of its resonance or relevance.
