Korean Films to be Screened in Berlin

SEOUL, South Korea - Korean films along with those of other Asian countries like Japan and China have been presented at many festivals around the globe and often come away with awards; however, these films are seldom introduced to German audiences. The Haus der Kulturen der Welt collaborates with the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF) to display a comprehensive program of the most exciting Korean contributions that are seldom shown in Germany. The program will focus on younger Korean film talent who look at the country’s social realities and offer an exquisite insight into the Korean mindset.

The eleven films produced over the last two years will be presented in three sections: The Border, Love on Detours, and Young Korean Directors.



Ten Korean Movies You Should See

Ten Korean Movies You Should See

BUSAN, South Korea -- When I tell people that I’m a film critic, the question I’m most often asked is “What are some good Korean films I should see?”  More often than not, people tend to end up at a DVD-room without a clue as to what Korean film to partake in other than “Old Boy,” which I think almost everyone has seen more than once.  

Usually there are a plethora of choices on hand, from raunchy comedies, to inanely twisted tales of horror, to overtly manipulative melodramas, to downright silly action films that take themselves way too seriously.
