Korean Film Festival in Australia 2014
No one makes movies quite like the South Koreans, one of the powerhouse nations of international cinema.
Overview
No one makes movies quite like the South Koreans, one of the powerhouse nations of international cinema. Celebrating its fifth anniversary in 2014, the Korean Film Festival in Australia will once again deliver the best of the Hallyuwood industry to our shores.
The festival kicks off with Cold Eyes, a cat-and-mouse surveillance film that blitzed the Korean box office last year. Other thrillers (a genre in which Korean filmmakers seem to flourish) on the program include mafia movie New World, featuring Oldboy star Choi Min-sik, and big-budget action flick The Suspect.
But there's more to Korean cinema than just bloody tales of crime and revenge. Fashion doco Nora Noh recounts the life and times of the Korean Coco Chanel, while animated kids film The Satellite Girl and Milk Cow has possibly the greatest title of all time. There's also a selection of comedies, including '80s-set high-school tale Hot Young Bloods and age-swap movie Miss Granny.
