Joint Security Area (Park Chan-wook, 2000): BFI Southbank, NFT1, 6.20pm
This film is part of the Art of Action: Celebrating the Real Action Stars of Cinema season at BFI Southbank.
BFI introduction:
A border incident leaves North and South Korean soldiers wounded or
dead, prompting an investigation by a neutral officer. Based on Park
Sang-yeon’s novel DMZ and masterfully directed by Park Chan-wook, the
film alternates between light, airy flashbacks and heavy, claustrophobic
investigation scenes. Song Kang-ho and Lee Byung-hun are superb and the
film is now ranked as an essential entry in New Korean Cinema.
Here (and above) is the trailer.
