Of course with all that said it has been a long while since Third Window had any Korean films on their release slate.

UDINE 2013: How to Use Guys with Secret Tips (남자 사용설명서, 2013)


Part of MKC's coverage of the 15th Udine Far East Film Festival.

Out of all of the national industries that regularly churn them out, this seems to happen the most often in Korean cinema. Many western film viewers were introduced to the country’s cinematic output through the contemporary classic My Sassy Girl (2001), which launched the careers of both Jeon Ji-hyun (The Thieves) and Cha Tae-hyun (Speedy Scandal, 2008).

(by Fabien Schneider)

This week, compared to last week, is rich with new releases. But with two documentaries, an indie fiction andharmless romantic comedy, The Berlin File and Miracle in Cell Number 7 don't have to worry about their top spots at the box office. At least until next week, when the highly anticipated The New World will climb aboard the stage.
