This film is part of the London Korean Film Festival. Details here. Tonight's screening has an introduction while the other screening is on November 3rd.

BFI introduction:
Lee Kyoung-mi’s acclaimed 2008 debut Crush and Blush was produced by Park Chan-wook. Eight years later, she returned with an innovative film co-written by Park. The daughter of a politician and his wife goes missing in the lead-up to national elections. As he carries on with his campaign, Yeon-hong becomes increasingly determined to find their daughter. Son Ye-jin is mesmerising as a mother fighting bureaucracy in Lee’s intelligent drama.
