Bong Joon-ho series at LACMA
If you’re in Southern California and have some time this weekend, you may want to check out the “Everything is a Mystery: Four Films by Bong Joon-ho” series at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) this weekend. Director Bong will even been in attendance for the Mother screening on Saturday. Arg, if I were in town I’d totally be there!
As you probably know, Bong is one of Korea’s top directors, and one of a very few who enjoy international recognition. His 2006 film The Host is the #1 top-grossing film of all time in Korea, and his latest film, Mother (starring Kim Hye-ja and Won Bin), screened at Cannes and is the South Korean entry for the upcoming Academy Awards. In addition to those two, LACMA will screen the “crazed romantic comedy” Barking Dogs Never Bite and taut thriller Memories of Murder
The schedule:
| Fri., December 11 | 7:30 PM | The Host (2006, 괴물) | |
| Fri., December 11 |
9:40 PM |
