Capital Celluloid 2024 — Day 312: Fri Nov 15

Let's Meet at Walkerhill (Han, 1966): BFI Southbank, 

This film, which also screens on November 6th at BFI Southbank, is part of the Golden Age of Korean Films season.

BFI introduction:
Two country bumpkins meet on a train bound for Seoul. One of them is hoping to locate his long-lost daughter in the big city, while the other is looking for a former sweetheart who may now be an up-and-coming nightclub singer. It’s the perfect basis for a smart fish-out-of-water comedy, interspersed with musical set-pieces in Seoul nightclubs and dance halls, featuring some of the era’s biggest performers.

Here (and above) is the opening.
