PEPPERMINT CANDY
Sunday, April 27, 2008, 2:00 pm, Meyer Auditorium
The political becomes achingly personal in director Lee Chang-dong’s remarkable drama chronicling twenty years of a life gone wrong. Ingeniously constructed in reverse chronological order, it covers the years 1979 to 1999, during which South Korea went from military rule to democracy. The film’s protagonist, a former soldier and policeman, gradually realizes that the mistakes he has made in life are, in fact, irreversible. 2000 / 130 min. Korean with English subtitles.
Part of the Korean Film Festival DC 2008. This festival is made possible by the Korean Film Council and the Korea Foundation.
Free tickets required.
